11/06/19 Updated: I am now including my Precise Parts filter drawer for Canon lenses,
a $650 value (if bought new), with this QSI-532 camera at no additional cost.
This FD uses the same filter carriers as the Gerd Neumann (Astronomik)
filter drawer system, which I sold separately.
This FD does not include any filter carriers.
I used this FD for every session when using my Canon 70-200mm F2.8 lens,
including the attached jpg of the California Nebula.
This FD functions superbly, with 100% reliability and adjustable tension
on the carriers, and only shows normal cosmetic signs of use.

If you are looking for a camera with the Kodak KAF-3200ME chip,
and you don't want to pay $7,000 - $12,000, read on ---

I am selling my QSI-532, which is in excellent condition.
Note the camera does not have an internal filter wheel, I used the FDS included above
Also note this camera does not have an OAG, I use a separate guide scope.
Also note this chip does not have anti-blooming.

I am the original owner. It has 5 years of use on it, I bought it new in 2007,
and used it thru early 2012. It's been in its case in the closet since then,
at first because I was spending all my meagre free time in Pixinsight, later
because I no longer have time for astrophotography.

This camera has 2 partial columns of warm pixels which easily calibrate out.
They are located in the lower right quadrant.
Linear darks and bias files, both individual and stacked, are available on request.
The camera shows no sign of frost on the sensor.

I am including my Gerd Neumann (Astronomik) filter drawer system,
a $275 value (if bought new), with this QSI-532 camera, at no additional cost.
I used the FDS for every photo session except when using a Canon lens.
The FDS includes the drawer, 3X 1.25" filter carriers, and 2X 2" carriers as shown,
and a 2" Baader nose-piece (not shown).
The FDS functions superbly, with 100% reliability and adjustable tension
on the carriers, and only shows normal cosmetic signs of use.

The sale includes the camera, the power supply, the CD w/ drivers (I've used
Win7 and XP), the USB cable, the RJ-11 guider cable, the QSI case, and the FDS above.

The photo of M33 was taken with this camera, FDS, and a TEC-140 at 980mm FL.
The photo of the California Nebula was taken with this camera and a Canon lens at 200mm FL.

The buyer pays shipping. I prefer PayPal and I will pay the PayPal fee.
International buyers are welcome but you also pay all customs import fees to your country.
