For sale is a supreme combo package with several top of the line components bundled together. If you plan on doing CCD work you won't find a better set up than these items. Believe me I researched the heck out of all that is available. You may find better individual components but you won't find a better combination of camera, adaptive optics, filters and the software to support easy calculation of exposure times. Unfortunately I never got the filters out of the box to use. They are still in the original packaging.
Model ST-10XME Self-Guiding CCD camera $6,695.00
The Model ST-10XME is the flagship of the "ST" series of self-guiding CCD cameras from SBIG. The body is identical to the ST-7XME, ST-8XME, ST-9XME and ST-2000XM models with some slight modifications to accommodate the larger detector. Like other self-guiding cameras in the ST series, the ST-10XME contains two CCDs.Each ST-10XME camera system includes the following:
* Rugged camera body with new high speed analog and digital electronics
* High speed USB interface (425,000 pixels/sec).
* New I2C bi-directional expansion port
* Standard accessory / telescope port
* User rechargeable desiccant plug
* Internal shutter
* 2" Nosepiece
* Cooling Fan - on/off controlled by software
* New heat exchanger design with water cooling capability
* Tripod mount 1/4-20 threaded side plate
* Adjustable t-thread ring
* 15 foot USB cable (third party USB extenders available for up to 500 meters!)
* Telescope interface cable (for autoguiding)
* Universal Power supply
* SBIG's CCDOPS version 5 camera control software
* Software Bisque's CCDSoftV5 camera control and image processing software
Model AO-7 Adaptive Optics System with SCT interface attached. $1,395.00
The Model AO-7 has been specifically designed to enable an ST-7/8/9/10/2000 camera user to obtain the ultimate in image resolution that his/her telescope and site can achieve. SBIG has exploited the second guiding CCD detector in these imaging cameras to stabilize stellar images, enhancing resolution. The AO-7 system has two components: a high speed tip-tilt mirror for atmospheric correction, and new image enhancement software implementing the Lucy-Richardson algorithm.
Features:
Improves image quality using a tip-tilt mirror that reacts to turbulence and vibrations
Most effective on nights of good to excellent seeing - provides smaller, tighter star images and better overall resolution.
Works with SBIG camera that feature self-guiding chips: ST-7/8/9
Includes image enhancement software implementing the Lucy-Richardson algorithm
Guide at 10 frames per second on a 10th magnitude star with a 10 inch (25cm) telescope
Astrodon Super filter set. $1,445.00
I think these are the best on the market. Especially if you want to do any narrow band work.
One of the benefits of the Astrodon filters is that the narrow band filters are parfocal with the LRGB filters.
The "Super" Color Filter Set includes the following:
H-alpha > OIII > SII > Luminance > Red > Green > Blue > Clear
SBIG CFW-8 $595.00
SBIG pioneered tricolor imaging for amateurs by developing hardware and software to register and color balance Red, Green, and Blue images that display spectral emission of deep space objects. When interference filters are carefully selected to match the spectral regions of ionized gases the images taken through the filters can be summed together to represent the distribution of these gases. Tricolor images are taken through the CFW-8A Color Filter Wheel and processed with CCDOPS, CCDSoftV5, or third party software.
2 Color Filter Wheel Carousels $90.00 /each
Astrodon RGB Weight Calculator for CCD Astrophotography. $39
Improve nebulae and star colors for your system, solve the "RGB Color Paradox".
Features:
Convenient, compact, easy-to-use tabbed interface.
Select your system (CCD, RGB, telescope type, object elevation, LPS filter).
Remember your system configuration for next use.
Display spectral curves - LRGB and LPS filters, CCD QE, calculated RGB curves for your system.
Calculate RGB weights (e.g., 1.2:1.0:1.7) for equal time exposures
Calculate corrected RGB weights based upon your actual RGB exposure times.
Determine if your nebula color is too green or blue after applying the RGB weights, and by how much.
Also included in this auction:
Extra power supply 12v.
2 extra water cooler systems.
Lunar filter (Orion)
