This camera was bought as a complete kit in 2013 and has given stalwart service over the years as I learned deep space, guided astrophotography.  It works extremely well with SGPro and PHD2 operating in Windows 10.  I believe newer versions of NINA also support SBIG cameras, but never used it with NINA myself.

This camera will work with most scopes, but would particularly suit scopes with a long focal length, such as an SCT with focal ratio of f/7 to f/10.  This camera may appeal to someone looking to start deep space imaging.  Some sample photos taken with this camera are attached.

Price is 650 euros for the entire kit.
