Up for sale is my QHY 183 MM camera- mono, cooled, 20 Mega pixel, very high QE, specs here if you don’t know this camera

It’s in excellent- as new -condition, not a mark on it.
I want to sell it because I have more or less gone over to the ZWO ecosystem revolving around an ASIAIR and hence haven’t used this camera ever since.
Here are some photos taken with it in the past

I ran it at -10 deg C with no problem reaching or maintaining that temperature. I used NINA a which is free and wonderful acquisition software. (You will need to get the QHY drivers off the internet.)
It’s a terrific option for anyone looking to move on from, or in addition to, an OSC or a DSLR
Note it has very noticeable amp glow-BUT calibrates out with properly taken darks. Darks are a must though.
I am looking for $1030 including postage in Australia or $999 if picked up in Sydney.
PS
Comes with original usb 3 cable. Misplaced the original power cable but it’s just a standard 12 V 5.5 *2.1 which I have replaced from Jaycar.
As you can see it I retained the original packaging where it has always lived in when not in use
Thanks for looking, please PM if interested.
