Last Try SBIG ST8**Reduced**

Last try on this, if not sold, then I keep it.

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, 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. Binning 2x2 or 3x3 makes for faster downloads.
I have been using it with Maxim DL (not included), but it works well also with the SBIG free CCDOPS, available on their website.
Priced at AU$1650, plus postage from me to you (guess about $50?)

As always, off group please, g.beal@xnet.co.nz or PM.
