Hi everybody,
I have the opportunity to get a second hand QHY10c at a very interesting price.
Can someone owning it (or who owned it)  give me some feedback on that camera?
Thank you in advance.

I've tried this CCD a couple of years ago (never owned one but I borrowed one to try it out).
I did like the sensor with its 45k well capacity and quite large pixels.
The cooling worked flawless and the unit was put together in a way that indicated quality.

The bundled software didn't impress me and as always(?) QHY-drivers can be "quirky" from time to time

This camera has been around for a while and it is strong that it still can compete with never releases.
If you are looking for a OSC CCD without breaking the bank this could be it.

I have a QHY10.  Started my 'serious' astrophotography with it and it performed very well.  Newer cameras are way more sensitive, but this camera has been a workhorse for me for a number of years.  The only thing I didn't like was the bulky power cable and convertor box that it needs.
