My interest in analog video cameras has recently extended to learning as much as I can about the history of deep sky video astronomy.  I have searched through the archives of Sky & Telescope and read all of the articles I could find.  And, I have read through the on-line forums and checked individual's web sites for more information about the early cameras used.  At some point, I would like to write a history of deep sky video and the evolution of the camera technology.  To that end, I would like to obtain some of the original cameras that were used in the early days, such as:
  • Supercircuits PC23-C or PC33-C                    circa 1998 
  • Supercircuits PC164C                                      circa 2001
  • ​SBIG STV*                                                             1999
  • Astrovid 2000                                                    circa 1996
  • Mintron 12V1C-EX                                            circa 2001
  • Stellacam                                                            circa 2001
  • Mallincam I                                                         circa 2001
  • Stellacam EX                                                       circa 2002
  • Watec Wat 120N                                                circa 2002
  • MC-1 and MC-2                                                  circa 2003
  • Stellacam II                                                         circa 2003
  • Early Mintron or Watec camera

 If you have any of these and would be willing to lend it to me to try out, I would be grateful.  I will pay the shipping.  Even better, if you no longer have use for the camera I would be happy to take it from you, again for the cost of shipping.   You can contact me at:  [email protected]

* I have finally found this camera
