Guest Eddy Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 http://astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php?view=63396 Just wondering everyones thoughts on this, price looks but was wondering if its a good start as he states its an older model. Im really tempted but just wanted opinions. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I don't know anything about ccd imaging and nothing about this camera - but I do know it's very cheap compared to current new prices so it's either very old, very used, or somethings wrong with it. You might even find it's incompatable with modern software you're using, or the operating system s/w Alternatively it might be quite good and work fine - but the thing with astro cameras is you need to be sure. I wouldn't buy it without a full demonstration noting all software and o/s used. And I try to work out the sellers motivation for selling it so cheap. First thing I'd do is call Bern at Modern Astronomy and have a chat with him about it (and ccd's in general). Better still I'd save and buy new with a good warranty and support.

andyboy1970 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have seen these go for £200, Parallel output so very slow. They are different beasts to the newer versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
