Looking to get this for $2500 USD shipped, it's used but from a person on the Internet who seems reputable. Looking for feedback on it and what to look out for in terms of used equipment.

I have nothing yet @inland onyx Planning to get the TS ONTC 10 or 12 inch carbon newt. If the 10 I’ll go with EQ6R Pro and if not I need to find more money on the ground for a better mount or something haha. Not sure about a guide yet, any suggestions?

Aye

#

That’s a good idea, didn’t think of that. I was given a sensor shot and it looks flawless but I noticed there’s no apparent sensor covering, is that expected? It may just be totally transparent, but it looks bare.

#

#

I figured, I just can’t see it myself

#

Asked them to provide some dark frames. What should I look for? I assume noise and uniformity should be next to perfect.

I don't have PixInsight to read these, guess I'll request the trial. But if someone does and wouldn't mind checking them out, that would be super cool.

Sure no worries. Still waiting on my trial key sadly. I think they won't give me one, probably thinking my connection is via a VPN since it's a business connection heh.

Looks fine to me. The hot pixels are quite normal, they calibrate out quickly.
