Expressions of interest... SBig ST-10XME, CFW8a

Withdrawn from sale for the moment, pending additional equipment (AO--8) addition. Expressions of interest welcome for stuff below with an AO8 and adapter plate...

I'm in the process of buying a newer one of these from the US, so I need to sell this one.

This is an earlier USB model ST-10XME, it doesn't have the remote guide head port. This port allows you to add an external guide chip vie and OAG to the system, mainly used for narrowband imaging.

This is a fantastic camera if you just want to do RGB or LRGB imaging. I have had some great results using this camera. I have done some narrowband imaging with the camera, but you need a bright guide star. LRGB is no problem even guiding through the filters, brighter stars are better, but even quite dim ones will do. For examples of the pictures I have taken please go to http://tinyurl.com/qfzzbg

The camera comes with everything I got it with except the filters, but includes a spare filterwheel. This includes software (CCDsoft, full version).

The ST-10XME has one of the highest QE's of any SBig camera, it's the flagship of the ST line of cameras. This particular example is well cared for. It has two hot pixels. These are removed by dark frames with a little bit of touchup later on. I have just received a new one of these so I have to move this one on, hence the much lower price.

Price $4500 firm, does not included postage.

Email me (rat156 at optusnet dot com dot au) or PM me if your interested.
