OK, catch me while the wine is still circulating.
SBIG ST8 CCD camera. Has dual chip, one for imaging (a good size too, 1530x1020 pixels), mono, and a smaller one for auto-guiding.
Supplied with nice carry case (Pelican?), cables, 1.25" nose-piece, and power pack (110 volt). Instruction manual as well.
These are well known for their imaging, and as the newer stuff arrives are becoming great entry level units.
OK, it is big and heavy, and being parallel, it won't set any speed records, but as I said a great entry level, get your feet wet camera. Will work with most computers, doesn't need a lightening fast PC.
Priced at AU$1800, plus postage from me to you (guess about $50?)
I will have an SBIG CFW8A with LRGB filters (SBIG/Custom Scientific) for sale as well, but only after the camera sells. Preference will be given to the camera and CFW as a unit.
