Does the job well.
I used it to cover my telescope overnight so I could observe the sun the next day and it rained and seems to help keep everything cool in the Queensland morning sun.
A big recommendation from me.
What a camera! Has only been used a couple times due to bad weather but apart from needing a better mount due to the smaller pixel scale, it is abosolutely brilliant. Unlike even 16bit cameras like the 2600mm and other IMX 571/455 cameras, the SII, Ha and Red subs from this camera look insane. The QE near the read spectrum is nothing to scoff at and OMG this camera can cool to -40 at only 50% cooler power in 20 degree ambeint temp and has virtually no read noise. Just WOW
Testar is the best astronomy supplier in NSW. I have tried the others but they can’t compete with Testar sale and service.
Bought to replace a red dot finder on a 127 Mak with a 2.25 Barlow and Zwo ASI385. A lot easier to get targets like Jupiter into narrow view. Easy to align. Just need to build DIY illuminated cross hairs :]
