Old Monochromatic CCD Camera

[Keshdogga]

Good to be back on IIS!

Looking for someone's old monochromatic CCD camera for a bit of an introduction to CCD Imaging. My current camera, a Canon 400Da is serving me well however I'm looking to upgrade to CCD that will alow me to proceed into narrowband imaging when I move the telescope to the city.

If anyone has such a camera please let me know :thumbsup:

Cheers,
Casey

Hi Casey,

I have an SBIG ST-5C that you can have for $250.

Cheers,
Jason.

Or I have a complete kit of ST-7XME with filter wheel, Baader rgb filters (not great but will get you started) Optec 0.5 FR and all the bits and bobs. Warning though it is a NABG ( bought it to try my hand at photometry) so it can bloom out the stars if the exposure is long enough to over fill the wells.

Thanks Jason bur I think the chip size is just a bit too small for my liking. I appreciate the offer though.

And thank you for the offer Paul but after our talk I do think that i would like to get a bigger chiped CCD. Either that or buy a smaller focal ratio telescope and get into mosaics ;)
