A complete imaging setup.

Hi folks. I want to buy AlexN's SBIG. But I have to sell something first so here it is - a complete imaging setup:

GSO 200mm F/5 Newtonian with standard finder, rings, dovetail.
LXD75 mount and tripod - with Meade #497
Meade 70mm x 600mm guidescope and guide rings;
Meade DSI guide camera
.63 Mogg reducer
Canon 1000D camera (unmodified) and near new, with spare battery, case, 28-55 lens;
MPCC coma corrector for fast Newtonians
GPUSB
#909 clone (by Gene Chimahausky) to send ST4 commands to the Aux bus of the mount from the GPUSB
USB/Serial converter
remote shutter for Canon (attaches through the USB/Serial).
ASUS Eee701 with 16GB SD card, XP loaded etc (to run the GPUSB and PHD through the DSI).

So it is everything you need to image except your own laptop to run an imaging program like Nebulosity. The EeePC just doesn't have the muscle for that sort of work.

The lot for $3500 firm. No separations. It's a bundle I don't want to start separating.

Photo of scope attached plus a Lagoon taken with this scope/camera.

Happy bidding.
