Unknown Camera.

[Mosc_007 (Charles)]

I am not sure the best place to post this ?

I would like some advice if anyone can help me to identify this Camera. It is cooled and I assume its a CCD. Looks like an APS-C size sensor. Their are No markings on it at all. Unknown brand. A USB port. A 4 Pin plug and a power plug ?

I have searched the net and I can not identify it. Also included is what looks like a Heater and a De Humidifier for the crystals.

Any Idea's ?

Yes I agree, looks exactly like my old QHY 8. Even the heater ring looks the same. Is it colour?
If you plug it into your computer and fire up nebulosity does it come up as a QHY 8?
If so want to sell It ?!!

Thanks for the replies.

I was suspecting it was a QHY CCD. Their was a loose QHY Power supply in the same lot of goods. But no QHY Camera.

I will see if I can find info on the old QHY8. I have a new QHY10 Already so this may not be that great. No Idea if its colour or BW. Havn't connected it yet.

It will possably go up for sale. It's not mine though. I was asked if it was any good. I will have to Plug it in and see what it comes up as. I didn't see the cable that links the power supply to the Camera though.

If it goes up for sale I will post it. Their is a lot of Astromical Equpment for sale that I will be posting in a week or 2. She wants to sell it all.

The old QHY 8 came with the original DC01 power supply, I seem to remember you have to plug the USB in first then the power source. You can get newer power leads etc from Gama Electronics.
