cheap cooled CCD camera

[Chu, Calvin-2]

Does anyone know whether I can purchase a lower end cooled CCD camera for $2,000 USD?

Thanks.

Check out eBay #280426024144.  This is a new cooled CCD camera for $1200.

Yes, just about, for example SBIG make decent low-end cameras, and their
ST-7 is about that price range:

Whether that's suitable depends on your application - what do you need it
for?

This Japanese camera is designed for amature astronomers imaging faint
objects. It is black and white but has very high sensitivity and
on-camera integration for shutter speeds of from 0.5 msec to 10sec or
unlimited http://www.neutronoptics.com/astro.html#Wat-120N+ Output is
normal PAL (or NTSC) video. It can be captured to imageJ using
variations of "vdubcap" http://www.neutronoptics.com/vdubcap.html

With Peltier cooling http://www.neutronoptics.com/astro.html#peltier
it would cost much less than $2000 including f1.0 lens and USB2 video
frame capture dongle (email me privately for details).
