Priced for a quick sale..
This camera was a project that got bypassed mid stream by a 40D, its for astro techies only. Totally unsuitable for terestial.
Its in perfect working order with the full astro conversion, internal filter removed (nothing in its place, no glass), amp-off mod (no amp glow, the tiny PCB shown in the pic), a copper cooling finger installed, internal PTC temp sensor fitted near the CCD (for possible temp control), peltier supplied and CPU type water cooler fitted.
All that is missing is a plate to clamp the cooler/peltier/finger together. Its missing, because I had 2nd (useless) peltier/cooler on the other side. I cant be bothered making a plate, hence the low price.
I got to below 0 deg with 2 peltiers, but dew became such a problem I gave up. With the one peltier supplied, at least a 15 deg below ambient should be possible (and more with cooled water), but I cant garranttee that, your risk.
If your not interested in the cooling set up, just cut the external part of the finger off, and its ready to go, not much tech skill required.
Comes with:
Cam
Driver/application software
2 Batteries
USB lead (not shown)
2 manuals
Charger
NO lens
NO CF memory card
You need to have some technical skill to get the cooling going (if required), but would make a great project for a low cost fully modded cooled DSLR.
