Hi all,

I'm thinking of getting one of the new Sbig STT series of cameras. In order to do that I need to sell my current setup.

STL-11000M Class 2 camera, (copied from the Sbig website)
CCD:* KAI-11002M
Total Pixels:* 11 million
Array:* 4008 x 2672 active pixels (35mm film format)
Pixel Size:* 9 microns square
Antiblooming:* Yes
Class: 1 (no column defects)
Peak QE: 50%
Image Area: 36 mm x 24.7 mm
Focal Length at 1 arcsecond per pixel:* 73 inches
FOV at 1 arcsecond per pixel:* 1.1 x 0.74 degrees

Has the five position filterwheel attached, I think it has Astrodon 2" filters, as well as a Ha filter I bought here about a year ago.

AOL, adaptive optics, it's great I use it all the time, highly recommended for imaging at long focal length.

Sbig remote guide head, in combination with the MOAG (see below) allows you to place the guide chip in front of the filterwheel, behind the AOL, a must for narrowband imaging.

Astrodon MOAG, off axis guider, if you want to acquire one guide star for all your color filters, great if you have the back focus to take it. I also have the MOAG-ST adapter, which allows the MOAG to be used with the ST series of Sbig cameras.

Comes with the standard inclusions from Sbig, including some software, I use CCDSoft.

Pictures on request (or when I get home)

I'm after expressions of interest now at $6500. Sale time will depend on when the new STTs become available, or the desperation of the buyer, i.e. if you really want it now, I can probably accommodate you, it's always cloudy here anyway!

Cheers
Stuart
