This is an SBIG-ST-8300C Color CCD camera in excellent condition, with a clean sensor and body. It has an 8.3MP sensor with 5.4 micron pixels and up to 40 degrees C active cooling. Back in the day, this sold for $2690; obviously, this is significantly less than that.
This includes all the cords and cables, and the original manual. It comes in a nice Pelican case.
The optical piece you see in the photos is called an eFinder. It screws into the camera if you remove the nosepiece. Outfitted this way, the camera can now be used as an autoguider that can sit on another OTA and guide it. So this camera can image without the eFinder like any other camera, or it can be converted into an autoguider.
