I have a ST-2000XM with the newer KAI-2020 Sensor + and self-guiding built-in TC-237H CCD and CFW8 Filter wheel with RGB + HA Astrodon Gen 1 filters.

Also comes with SBIG Pelican Case, Power Supply and Software, Guide Cable. Not sure I have manuals any more but these can be downloaded easily from SBIG.

Asking $2000 + shipping

I will also have an Adaptive Optics AO-7 up for sale shortly with Muscle Plate.
I'll include the AO-7 with this for $2200 otherwise AO-7 is not included in this sale.

I have taken heaps of great pictures with this camera as recently as 3 weeks ago. I have attached a few of these to this post.
