Is there an Australian agent?
Any-one know the prices?
I've been to the QHY website and cannot get any information. There isn't even an email address for questions.

For the QHY forums try:

http://www.qhyccd.com/ccdbbs/

There is a local agent who's a member of IIS. You can find his website at:

JohnH, theres NOTHING to beware off. So i think that comment is a little unfounded.
In fact if you did your research, you will find the opposite. Before making any comments, you need to make sure you know what you are implying. You have local support and Warranty for your cameras and accessories, plus a proper Tax invoice.
The QHY products are available from U.S.A, Europe, Canada, and not just China.
Also, i see you have an Orion Starshoot, well, guess who designed that and sold it to Orion !!!!!!!.

Vince, i am the Australian Distributer, so if you need further info you can contact me here by PM or my site as posted earlier.

The link you are referring to is an outdated link, the new link was also posted earlier so go and check out whats happening with QHY.

I have sold many cameras and accessories from QHY, and i havent heard any bad reviews or disatisfaction Yet.
You are getting a solid and well designed camera. Granted, there are delays in shipping, but goes to show just how well they are selling. We are not the only people in the world that is buying a QHY camera, so expect delays. But even to wait a month is still better for a camera of its ability.

Lastly, you wont get anything better for the money. Check out the QHY site for the latest.

Edit: Had to edit, as i had "You" instead of "Who" in the Orionstar shoot line.. Sorry. Corrected now..

Comment should have read - and now does - be aware that....

BTW I do not think I deserved the slap for "not doing my research" as I actually started this thread and have loooked at most of the sites and feedback on this camera, I am even considering one myself and have said as much...ow!

For cheap and cheerful you cant beat a toucam pro as guidecamera coupled with Guidemaster software and a cheap 7x500mm guidescope (~$150). With mounting rings, you should be able to guide well for $400.

It wasnt meant to be a slap JohnH, it was just a casual comment, not really meant to bear any weight. Just that anyone placing suggestions can have consequences.. So if it reads harsh, its not meant to be.

Hmm - I thought that was SAC - and that QHY had nothing to do with them vis. design... you live and learn eh?

Just had an email from Martin Mylivec that my TVGuider is finished and being posted off today.
Can't wait. I hope that it can do as well as Guidemaster which I have found gives exceptional guiding and round stars (if I focus correctly first)
