Starlight Xpress SXV Large Format Adaptive Optics + Lodestar

For sale:
  • Starlight Xpress SVX Large Format Adaptive Optics unit (includes OAG)
  • Starlight Xpress Lodestar guide camera (first generation)

Fully working condition. There's some corrosion on the four bigger screws on one side of the unit (occurred within a few days of purchase & use). A few dew spots on the glass, which I've never tried to clean (no scratches).

This unit was magic for getting round stars during long exposures - attached are two crops resized to 200% from a 60 minute sub at 1.34''/pixel using an EQ6 mount, STF-8300M camera, 1625 mm scope. These crops were part of my Cat's Paw Nebula mosaic that consisted of 86x 60 minute subs using the same gear.

Price: $1,200 + shipping. Please PM me if interested.
