Imaging package - 2020 David Malin award winning setup
Hi all,
Been a few years since I’ve been around these parts….
Alas, life has got in the way and other interests have taken priority so it’s time to sell off my imaging gear as I am just not using it and it deserves a loving home. I intend to sell this as a package at the moment however may look to break it down if it doesn’t sell over the coming months (I’m in no hurry at all).
This setup as it is in its current form won 1st place in the 2020 David Malin Awards (Deep Space) with the below pics. There are a couple long term members on here that will be able to verify this.
System consists of –
William Optics FLT-132
Feathertouch 4” focuser
ZWO 1600 mono cam
Astrodon unmounted 36mm SII 3nm, OIII 3nm and HA 5nm.
ZWO unmounted 36mm RGB’s
7 slot filter wheel
ZWO 120 mini for guide scope (included)
EQ6 Pro that has been hyper-tuned (some ceramic bearings), belt driven and had anti-backlash kit fitted
P Flat 4 Reducer/flattener(fitted)
Flattener-68 (not fitted)
Custom adapters to ensure perfect spacing
ZWO auto focuser
Power box/adapters for the different electrical components
Steel (home made) pier
Range of bits and pieces
I have no idea about current values for gear because I’ve been out of the game for a while so don’t know what price to put on it. (But I do know what I spent so won’t be selling for a pittance). Note - scope was purchased second hand from ISS.
I’m accepting offers for the complete imaging package in its current full award winning form.
All you need do is hook a computer up to it, I was using SGP and PHD2 for control (simple stuff is all you need for a quality rig)
Happy to supply more pics if wanted….or allow inspections (will request photo ID before you get my address for security purposes)
