I happen to have an SBIG STi I'm no longer using. It has 7.4micron pixels and
an internal mechanical shutter for taking darks. Feel free to PM me.

I saw this as well and wondered if it might be the heliocentric orbit

Now back
to getting the telescope ready for the occultation of star UCAC4-548-015983
by asteroid (50) Virginia...
I'm on the target star, unlike the earlier attempt at the (236) Honoria
