... anyone know of any FLI dealers in Aus, the FLI website gives:
Astro Optical Supplies -
http://www.astro-optical.com.au, however I couldnt find any FLI cameras on their site.
The QHY9, although at a pretty good price, does not appear to have the build finish of other cameras of the same chip - images in the manual showed a early oxidisation of the fan plate, and the plugs looked poorly seated - I could be wrong, but why would you put these images in the manual?.
Where as the ATIK does not promise the same level of coolin (40C as compared to 50C) the actual product finish appears a lot tidier. and for a very similar price although I realise that this is minus FW and RGB.
As for the SBIG, I know this is shallow, but I think it kind of looks like a 1980's T.V set. Although I am sure that it is a perfectly capable camera for a good price, I am gonna rule it out on aesthetics.
Thoughts?
