    Running a used camera business??? I'm only going to do this so many times...

    Tip: the leading 99 means it was manufactured in 1999. Most SBIG serial numbers follow that pattern.

    I can't find a record of that serial number. Are you sure it's not 99031979?

    No, is not a busines, as astronomical association we are collecting some old cameras for educational use at "cheap" prices :)
    The SN I sent is correct.
    The next time I'll ask you about an st10 we are dealing with.
    Thanks and sorry for the trouble

    Unfortunately there is no record of that camera. The database is not 100% complete.

    Best way to tell if ABG or NABG is to take an image of a very bright star.

    9903 is March of 1999. The majority of cameras manufactured back then were NABG so I'd guess that is most likely. The Production Database was created in 2003+/- so I'm not surprised that this serial number can't be found in it.

    Good point... older cameras will only appear because they were in for service after the database was created.
