Stx16803 + fw5-stx

Another 2 items in the much delayed clear out sale.

I have a well used and loved SBIG STX16803 camera for sale. It comes with a FW5-STX filter wheel loaded with Baader LRGB and Ha and SII filters (I am struggling to find the OIII filter).

This has been sitting quietly in a box in my observatory for several years now. It has a nice big chip and is great for a wide field scope like a FSQ106. In its day it was a premium camera - you can review the specs (and the glowing write up about it) here: https://www.astroshop.eu/astronomica...3-mono/p,53788

The filter wheel carries 65mm square filters. New, the filter wheel costs just under US$2,000. A new set of Baader LRGB filters is around US$700.

I paid $10k when I bought this. Since then I have replaced the power supply - new from Diffraction.

Will part with all of this for $5,000. If I can find the OIII filter, I'll include that as well.

PM me with any questions. Pics to follow

Pete
