Hi,
just a few words about this ccd camera as I use it on loan since 3 months.
It is heavy-duty designed. One of my friends told about a russian tank
. The fitting phase is not complicated, the whole procedure is described on the website with all instructions.
The Peltier is thermo-regulated by "Alaudine", the specific power supply. Other accessories have been designes such as EthernAude (for ethernet use) and Quickaudine (usb transceiver).
Although the model i use is jurassic Kaf400-based with its 40% QE, it can reach 19 magnitude within 2 hours exposure.
The camera and the power supply cost 2500 aud.
