Fully tested, I have been using the camera for astro imaging for the past 6 months. No blooming, some column defects that can be removed with processing.

I spent over $1600 setting up the kit and will sell for $825.00 plus shipping. The project has just gotten too big for me.

They sell for US$900.00 on ebay without the shutter and mount.
