Looking for $780 plus post.

few of the pics taken with an 8inch F4 attached. My processing skills aren't that great though.
I've also tried out Ha shots with this using a 7nm Ha filter. whilst not the same as a mono, there's still a lot of detail captured.

Will add some pics later tonight.

Cheers
Alistair

Attached a few pics of the camera and a Ha image taken with a 7nm Ha filter. its a stack of two 10min subs, red channel only.

Its a great starter for entry into CCD imaging, 6MP and has a wide FOV, cooling works well with hardly any noise even in 20min subs.

I'm selling it because I'm investing in a QSI mono.

Price reduced $760 or make me a sensible offer.

Cheers
Alistair
