Hello,
I am considering taking some equipment to ASpekt 2014 to sell second hand, and finance some improvements. I am not yet decided about everything, so I will probably decide based on existing interest..
I have three items I can take:
-- guidecamera: Starlight Xpress CoStar
-- camera: Sigma-402 (I can't find the software CD
)-- camera + filter wheel: SBIG ST-10XME + CFW-10
The CoStar guide camera is in need of replacement because I want to see deep-sky objects in the guide camera, and not just stars. The CoStar is good for the usual stellar spectroscopy targets. The best about it, is it's size fitting in the eyepiece holder!
The Sigma-402 is a wonderful camera (despite the size of sensor) and I am in love with it (ScPro and binning options), so I am not yet decided if I want to sell.. I also have a small bottle with enough replacement desiccant for a decade! I am still searching where I placed the CD with ScPro software and Sigma drivers...
The ST-10 XME + CFW-10 is the best camera I have, with very good cooling, and the only thing I like less about it is it's size, weight and weight distribution! It is not a priority to sell this camera, but if it happens, the obvious "upgrade" will be an Atik-460EX or similar
It comes with a pelican case, and to carry that with me, I will need to check-in one airplane baggage... So if there is interest, warn me!You may comment here, or via private message.
Thank you.
