*************SOLD*****************


I used this as my guide camera for a few years but have recently purchased a QHY8 so my DSI II is now performing guide camera duties.

It is a 1.3 MP monochrome camera capable of 10 fps at 1280x1024 and can do up to 10s exposures. It has the Micron MT9M001 CMOS chip (same as the QHY5 and Orion guider) - see this thread: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...p/t-29173.html

It comes with bundled software for image capture including Nebulosity Lite and plugins for Astroart and Maxim DL.

This is not a basic webcam and does take a bit of getting used to to optimise the camera settings.

The camera is complete with original packaging, USB cable, 1 1/4" nosepiece,t-thread adaptor and original driver disc. I've subsequently downloaded a new set of drivers from Opticstar for use with XP SP3 and can include a CD ROM with these. You will need to contact Opticstar to obtain new activation codes however these are provided free of charge.

Please note this does not come with the guide port interface.

I was asked in a pm if I had used this camera for planetary or lunar imaging - the answer is no - just as a guide camera, however I just shot a quick test image through a camera lens in the garden to give you an idea of what to expect from it.
