CCD Camera

[Stephen Green]

Hi every one can any one help. I am looking for CCD camera and to spend up to £900. I saw that a lot of you had good ones at Kelling Heath but do not remember the makes, any surgestions please, Regards Stephen

Hmm - for that price I'd have to say the Atik 16HR.

Or maybe just the Atik 16. The 16HR is a bit more pricey new Arthur, unless you have a stash? Also to be considered is the Atik 16IC.

Talk to Bern at Modern Astronomy, he'll put you straight, or Ian King.

Any of the Atiks would be good. ( DSLR would also be good and you would get some change from £900 even if you had it modded - depends what you want to do)

The 16HR is about £1249 but the Atik 16 is about £649.

I was thinking s/h - there seemed to be a flurry of them (well, 2 then) a few weeks back...

Get your point Arthur , but the 16HR does not seem to come up very often.

True, unfortunately. Says a lot about them though.

The biger QHY8 (?) is a good price if you can stretch to it though. Boring case I always thought

Are you more concerned at looking at the camera, or looking at the images the camera produces?

It's a matter of style Steve

Besides, you have to remember, we were trying to break a monopoly and seriously cut camera prices so we had to do something outrageous. It worked... hence the current more sensible cameras coming onto the market. You may not like it but Artemis was the first!
