For sale is a virtually unused PL130M camera which is surplus to my needs as I also own a QHY5 which has the same sensor.
This is a very compact and lightweight MONO camera with a very sensitive high res CMOS sensor that can be used either for planetary/lunar imaging or as a guidecam. It can be used in long exposure mode with:
Nebulosity
PHD Guiding
MaxIm DL
AstroArt
or with any app that supports webcams via DirectShow/WDM video mode.
It is as new complete with original packaging, usb cable and software and a 1.25" nosepiece.
Shipped to you address anywhere in AU for $150.
