I have a new Apogee Alta U6 + FW50R filterwheel that I'm selling for only $6250.
The 1001E is a 1 inch square sensor with a 24µm pixel size. Ideally suited for long focal lengths, or medium focal lengths under poor skies. It's a perfect match for the C14 and other SCTs, but there's no reason it can't be used on a long focal length refractor or reflector for that matter.
The undervalued aspect of this chip is its sensitivity per price point. The ability to image faint galaxies in seconds versus minutes allows for unguided, automated imaging beyond what we're normally used to. All the images here are using the U6 unguided. Typical sub exposures are less than 60 seconds:

It's also an awesome science chip. Non-AGB makes it perfect for photometric work.
The camera and filterwheel are in brand new, pristine condition. Feel free to PM me for more information.
Happy to separate - $5,500 for the camera, $750 for the filter wheel (half price for what is essentially a brand new FW50).
Thanks for looking,
Paul
