Cameras

Includes filters (Astrodon LRGB, Ha, Oiii, Sii) in 8 position filter wheel.

Original ST-i guider failed, replaced with QHY5III290 (available separately). Added aluminum threaded rings to guide port to help focus.

Includes Pelican Case, cables.

Includes filter wheel with filters, guide port.

Second image shows with zwo asi120m installed as guider (available separately).

Third image shows camera installed on FSQ106 with focuser (included with FSQ106) and Pyxis rotator (available separately).

Has a partial column of bad pixels, easily fixed with dark/bias frames

My first quality camera - it is wonderful. I used it for quite awhile.

100,000 e- well depth produces excellent contrast in images.

USB connection.

First image shows my camera with CFW10 filter wheel attached to a Takahashi Sky90

Second image is clearer, shows someone else's unit with the CFW10 filter wheel.

Only design problem - the guide chip is behind the filters, so I often can't guide with it (especially narrow band). The guide chip no longer works on this unit.

Includes CFW10, with original LRGB filters.

Includes Pelican case.

Includes dessicant packs.

I have used this as both a monochrome planetary camera and as a guide camera. It works very well.

In the third image the camera is installed in the STF8300M guide port. The aluminum rings I made to help focus are visible.

Monochrome camera used primarily as the guider for the QSI683. Worked very well.

Color planetary camera. Used very little (I stopped doing planetary).

This was a very solid, well built guide camera. It uses the same chip as the original Orion guider, but does it much better.

Unfortunately, at Windows 7? 8? the driver didn't work anymore and I couldn't find a replacement driver.

This could be a fun project to write a driver for it. Or, at least it comes in a nice case.
