G'day,
Dylan from the Byron Bay observatory here.
Have had this very great mono 14-bit camera but I use the 16-bit QHY268M so haven't had much time to use it. In fact, it's practically new as I've never used it beyond testing the darks on a bench. Original packaging etc. This model has amp glow which disappears with dark calibration.
Details here (mono version) :
https://www.qhyccd.com/qhy294m-c-pro/
RRP $1,900 AUD
Selling for $1,400 AUD
AND if you want the matching filter wheel, I can supply the QHYCFW3M-US or QHYCFW3M-SR for an additional
$350 AUD (or $400 separately if anyone needs it)
CFW3M-SR 20.5mm+2mm 5 position 2inch mounted/50mm unmounted 10mm
CFW3M-US 17mm+2mm 7 position 36mm unmounted 5.5mm

Ideal for someone looking to step up from the ZWO1600 and squeeze out a bit more dynamic range and quality.
NOTES : Although practically new I've amalgamated the 12v power supply & lens cap somewhere into my black hole of black things so it doesn't come with those (easy to buy third party, have dropped price accordingly) but it does come with the adapters/spacers/screws it normally ships with and an extra Nikon lens adapter if you want to whack a Nikon lens onto it instead of a telescope. I've stored the camera in a zip lock bag so it's been as dust free as possible since opening.
Seems a shame to let this Camera/FW setup sit on my shelf when I need money for alcohol.
And remember, everything is meaningless and we're all going to die.
Dylan.
