How big is the STL11000

[Striker (Tony)]

If anyone is interested in the size of these huge camera's I have take some pics on my 10" LX200R with my new feathertouch focusers.

Its one huge camera.

Wow! That's a whopper, archbishop!!!!!

I guess the next question is how much does that thing weigh?

Size is one thing, but is it also heavy? These things can be deceptive.

And geeeeeee... that's a sweet rig Tony. You've gotta be happy with that (for at least the next 6 months!!!LOL)

[Striker (Tony)]

4 pound.

Its about the same weight as my cooled canon 350D that had all the copper for cooling.

Once I get my guide head it will actualy be a lighter setup then having the 350D primary and ST402XME as a guide camera on the ED80.

So no weight isn't a problem.
Why wait 6 months..how about 3..lol

Told you that camera was big

Looks awesome..... Size of things doesn't surprise me anymore, every astro-gadget I've bought is always twice the size I was expecting before I got it!.... Newt.... ED80..... G-11 (especially!)....

[matt]

The point I was trying to get at was that sometimes (especially with some CCD cams) they can be quite large but surprisingly lightweight.

Good to see a real life pic of it on a familiar type of telescope - Thanks Tony.

Awesome Tony!

[Garyh]

Its a big sucker alright Tony!!
Don`t know whats in it that makes it weigh so much? heat sink for active cooling? can`t think of any other internals that would be heavy?
Hope you sort out the vignetting!! on this monster!!!
Cheers Gary

You're rubbing salt into my wounds Tony.
