Surplus to requirements, the Orion StarShoot Pro was an entry level step up from a DSLR in 2009/2010, and is equipped with the same sensor as the QHY8L.
This is a 6.1mp sensor, so the pixel size is quite large at 7.4um, however, this can be advantageous when coupled with longer focal lengths, and an for the use that I purchased it for, which was to couple it with a wide angle (50~85mm) lens and shoot a super wide companion image to my primary image, so that I could essentially produce a 'here's the map of the milkyway' image, and a 'here's the part of it I'm focused on' image at the same time.
Unfortunately I've not had the time to source a camera lens and mounting hardware for it all, and I'd rather put this in the hands of someone who will get use out of it.
$300 ono
Pickup in north brisbane or happy to post at buyers expense.
Comes in the aluminium hard case, with the camera, a USB cable and a tailed 12v cable. (no 12v power adapter included)
