Sample photo of B33 region is from this camera, and is a single 15 minute frame at ISO800 at prime focus on my Takahashi Sky-90@f/4.5 The image is a bit crunchy here as it's highly compressed.

Reason: Re-pricing to move it quickly
Hi there Leon How're your travels going? Having fun?
This unit looks very clean to me. I've looked after it like a baby - and as a previous Tak owner you'd know how we tend to be pretty precious about our gear - I think it's probably a trait. I've just flipped the mirror up with the manual clean menu option and it looks literally spotless. The thing is new inside.
Thanks for that Chris, yes mate I did expect it to be spot on, as you I'm very particular about my stuff as well.
I probably should not have doubted that, my apologies.
Our trip is so good I may not come home, Alice says hi as well.
I'm considering your camera, but just leave it with me overnight and I will get back to you, but please sell if you get another offer.
Cheers Vincent, but as body-only it won't be much cheaper in reality. I'd be looking for $750 for that on its own. The lens and accessories are a bargain here.
Looking at eBay and other auction sites for a better indication of market value, I've re-priced this complete ensemble down to $700 shipped to anywhere in Australia. "Buy-now" on eBay are currently asking AU$700 and up for the body alone. This is a good value deal I reckon, and I won't be going any lower. At least you know what you're getting - a camera that has been pampered by an amateur astronomer rather than belted around the traps. Thanks for looking
