This camera is not well suited to my telescopes.
They are a big chip (24x36mm) and big pixels (9 microns in 4008x2672 array) so it's a good one for someone who wants to do high res widefields and has a good-sized light cone that can illuminate it.
I have found that when pushed, there is a column defect that needs good darks/bias etc (or Photoshop) to remove. But like most of these big chips, this is not unusual.
The front thread on the camera is M54 which allows it to connect to a QHY Filter wheel with the same threads.
Included is:
Atik 11002M Camera
Pelican Case with laser cut insert
USB Camera lead
Power lead with Cig lighter plug.
Software should be downloaded from Atik web site to ensure it is up to date.
I'll sell it for A$3000 - buyer to cover post and insurance.
If serious interest, I can send images etc to you by email - too big to put on IIS).
Details from Atik web site:
The Atik 11000 is a very high resolution, large format cooled CCD camera for astronomy.
note
We only use the latest generation of KAI 11002 sensors, which have anti-reflection coatings on both sides of the glass cover. This reduces reflection artifacts generated between the CCD surface and the cover.
