I'm looking at selling my little Starlight Xpress HX-916 mono camera, manual wheel, TruTek Filters and case.
The HX-916 is a cooled USB 1 camera with a hi QE (48%) and with very low noise so dark frames are normally not required. Comes with manual, driver and software CD, power supply unit, control box and cables. The SXVF-H9 is the new model and will cost you AU$3410 delivered from OPT.
The Wheel is a 5 position ScopeTeknix 1.25" manual wheel (http://www.pulsar-optical.co.uk/prod/antares/scopeteknix/filterwheel.html). The wheel has some paint sctatches on one side and no longer clicks between filters, but is silky smooth to turn and works just fine. I have fitted it with an adapter for direct coupling to the starlight and a 2" nosepiece for LP filters. A new one will run to about AU$200 imported from the UK.
The filters are a 5 piece parfocal set consisting of LRGB+Ir made by TruTek. Replacement value on these would be around the AU$275 mark.
This complete kit has a new replacement value of around $4100.
$1350 for the kit or $1100 for the camera alone + post + paypal fees (3%) if you want to pay that way.
