I have upgraded my camera setup and this has to go.
Purchased nearly 3 years ago for my first plunge into DSO imaging. Affordable and a great way to get started with DSO without forking out a fortune.
Condition is excellent. The ASI178MM-Cool is a great camera to get into DSO at an affordable price. Specs of the camera can be seen below.

I purchased this with the dew strip which helps keep the dew off the glass. This was an additional cost. Package comes with:
- Camera
- Camera case
- USB 3.0 cable
- 1.25" dust cap (does not come with the 1.25" nose piece but this can be easily sourced or you might have one in your box of goodies)
- Original box
- Dew strip
- Dew strip y adapter for power
The newer model (closest equivalent) of this camera is $1,400 from ZWO.
I am asking for $850 which includes express shipping to anywhere in Australia. Add $25 if you would like insurance and signature on delivery.
Please use astronomy.tools online to calculate the camera with your setup so you can see what kind of FOV you get, very important to check when purchasing a camera!
I do have the EFWmini, 31mm LRGB ZWO filters and an H-alpha filter I will be willing to bundle as a package, please let me know if you are interested in these items. Still deciding whether to sell them yet or not but if I get the right price I will consider it.
