ASI 1600 MMCool

Hi

Asking $750 - pickup Adelaide or +postage

Heavily used, but still running beautifully - only selling because I am getting too old for the hobby. This is an early version with no RAM buffer or ancillary USB ports. Early firmware was a bit unreliable in USB3 mode, so only ever used as a USB2 camera - still does a very fast frame download in USB2. The fan failed and was replaced a couple of years ago. I have been using a small silica gel dessicant pack under the sensor tray rather than the original clay plugs - ~6 months between recharges.

These cameras have vanishingly low read noise and dark current - and minor fixed pattern noise that can be easily removed with flats or dither. The cooler is very efficient and it stays at -15C regardless of the time of year - you will need to provide a couple of amps at 12 VDC.

Works very well with 1.25 filters.

thanks for looking, please PM if interested. Cheers Ray
