Hi there.

The SBIG STL11000M was state of the art in its day and was my primary imaging camera for a good while, and as such, I bought all manner of accessories for it.

While the camera is certainly old, (and the darks/bias would reflect that), the fact remains that with good quality calibration masters, light frames calibrate very cleanly. The camera has been used very recently, attached to a Sigma Art f1.8 135mm lens to great effect, see attached image.

Here is the package:
SBIG STL11000M upgraded to a Class 1 CCD in 2015.
Original 5 position internal FW (takes 50mm round or 2” mounted)
SBIG FW8-STL (50mm round)
Astrodon Gen I LRGB filters
AOL
Unused, spare AOL window
SBIG Remote Guiding Head designed for this camera, modified to accept a 1.25” focal reducer (works great)
Astrodon OAG (complete with new instructions on how to mount the RGB to the OAG)
1.25” focal reducer for RGH
Original Pelican case
Original power supply plus operational spare.
Astromechanics Lens Iris/Focus controller designed for STL.

I have all the original receipts, and totted up, I spent just over $15,000USD on this kit. The Class 1 upgrade cost $2300USD on its own.

This is a LOT of gear and I am only asking $5000AUD for it OVNO (excluding shipping).

Bias/Darks and sample light frames/calibration frames and photos can be supplied on request.

cheers
Martin
