Camera bench test by Craig Stark
I've have this for 2.5 years (bought on IIS), but am having a break from astrophotography to pursue other interests, such as sleep !
Things I've liked about this camera:
*It was simple and relatively low cost transition from DSLR to CCD imaging.
*Large pixels combined with low read noise allows for subs of 5 minutes, even in narrowband (moderate light pollution becomes the dominant source of noise)
*With the low dark current, I didn't need darks, just a hot pixel map
*Artemis capture software is simple to use and powerful
The camera and filters are in very good condition. The camera was with Atik in June for a repair and service. A PCB was replaced, the desicant was changed and the sensor was cleaned at the same time (invoice available). The desicant tablet is easy to recharge (put in oven), I should have done it more often.
Camera and filters are well protected for postage in original retail packaging, or pickup from Brisbane SW.
