Hi all,

I am taking a different direction in my Astro imaging passion, therefore I have my QHY8L CCD for sale.

The QHY8L is a 6 MP One Shot Colour CCD with regulated single stage cooling of up to 35 degrees below ambient.

The QHY8L uses the Sony ICX413AQ sensor:
- Effective sensor size is 25.1mm x 17.64mm;
- Pixel size 7.8um x 7.8um

Also included is:
- aluminium case,
- cables,
- power supply
- power regulator
- Centre and tilt adjustment ring
- Dessicant plug/tube
- CD with manual, software drivers and EZCAP capture software.

I personally have been using Maxim - it literally keeps the camera at +/- 0.2 degrees from the set-point temperature for hours on end.

I am also happy to transfer my darks library across to a disc and will include that as well.


Attached are a number of images I have taken from both dark skies and metropolitan Adelaide....all with flats, darks and bias.....
