Hi Tony

 

What was the "one last experiment"?

Judging by your earlier ccd results, it must be stunning.

Hello List,

 

     After one last experiment to make 100% sure that I am going to stick with CCD ( I am ) ... my two astro cameras are up for sale and as usual I would like to present them to the list before selling them elsewhere...

 

1.   Canon F1 with waist level Finder FN-6X and special Canon "bright screen" plus bayonet 2" adapter:   $300

 

2.   Same thing as # 1 but with a custom knife edge focuser tool accurate to within less than .001" with metal to metal contact... this was my personal camera all these years... $400.

 

    If anyone is interested you can email me personally at:

 

tonyhallas@foothill.net

 

     Yeah, it's the end of an era for me... you'll see why in a few more weeks when I finish up the Veil through the 4" f/8 with the ST-10E.

 

     Have a good one,

 

          Tony
