Hello All,

I am selling my QHY8L (OSC) for two reasons. Reason one I have a QHY9 mono and only one scope.

Reason two, i am broke and can't afford to hold onto it til i can afford the lens mount i was planning on using it with. Sadly centerlink has decided to cancel my Austudy because i have been at uni too long (only ever gotten Austudy or any centerlink payment for 3 months in my life mind you) so i really need the extra funds so i can complete my studies.

It has just been serviced by Gama (literally last week before i found out about centrelink). It had a dicky USB connection that was caused by hanging cables. This issue has been resolved in the future by the replacement of the part and the addition of a permanent attachment (see photos).

Also with the CCD is a CNC custom spacer to reach 55mm spot on (tested and proved) by Tan14. Likewise, there is a Baader MPCC Mark3 attached.

I am looking for $1500 for the lot plus postage.

I am willing to separate if i can find buyers for everything.
In that case looking for:
$1400 for the CCD (new $2000)
$120 for the MPCC (new $319)
$30 for the Spacer (new i think $60)

The MPCC is missing the 1mm spacer ring although in this setup it isn't needed at all.
Also the CCD comes with a Aluminium carry case the DC201 (early model QHY8L didn't come with new DC201-S have been informed by Gama that this is fine) 240V to 12V power supply and all new cables (purchased last week with service).

I will be heading to Astrofest Friday if the someone wants to pick up there. Likewise if it hasn't sold by Friday i will suspend sale here til i return from astrofest in case it sells up there.

Regards Grady
