AZEQ6 mount and TS102mm f7 telescope

[DJScotty]

This is the final sale of my astro gear. Parting ways due to ill health and the desire to purchase a tilt-shift lens for my 6D.

FOR SALE
Well used AZEQ6 mount, currently sitting on my pier, but I will put it back on the tripod, bought from Astropete's (now Anarchy) in 2014. Personally (and very carefully) stripped it back and regreased it with lithium grease. Works a treat. It was capable of pulling 30minute subs with a 10" newt plus the ed80 sitting on top of it. On a good night had a total RMS error of 0.20 (0.77"). (Currently $2500)

TS102mm F7 ED Doublet black telescope with field flattener and ADM saddle plate. Purchased this from a fellow IIS member. Beautiful piece of kit. Pin point stars. Beautiful flat field when used with the ASI1600mm (which is already gone) (Brand new from Teleskop Express posted with UPS with current exchange plus time is $1200)

Guiding setup - Canon 75-300mm lens, ASI120mm camera with EOS adaptor. Beautiful little guide camera. Very sensitive. Bought from Bintel in 2015. (New $329)

Brand new, total cost is approx. $4000

All of the above total asking price is $2200.
OR
Telescope with flattener/reducer, $550 + postage (add $150 for the guiding setup)
AND
AZEQ6 mount $1600
Would REEEEALLLLY prefer to not ship or post, so LOCAL BUYERS ONLY. But I am happy to drive about 100k to make the sale (I live in Brisbane, obviously)
AND
Guiding setup (lens, ASI120mm plus EOS adapter) $200 + postage

Please text me on 0422 690 380 if you are interested.


Cheers,

Scott

Interested in the OTA can you tell me more about it?
Pm if you like

[DJScotty]

What do you want to know?
About the only thing I can think of is the focuser. It is an excellent piece of kit. I had a moonlite which I chose not to use on this scope as the supplied focuser is that good. That's my opinion though.
The focuser is rotatable. Has a 2 inch 3 point ring clamp which holds the gear really tight. I attached the moonlite motor to it which worked beautifully but I am keeping the motor.
Need any other information?

I noticed you were holding the front element is it removable? Also the telescope is black the ones on their site are white , is the front element fp51 ed? Or fp53 have you got any pics taken with this?
Sorry for all the questions it looks like a very nice kit

[DJScotty]

I just checked the teleskop express website. According to it, it is 51 glass.
Not too sure about the colour difference. My guess is, given that it is a "custom" scope, the original owner asked for it in black. If you want I can check with him?
Yes the front element can be screwed off, very carefully of course. I took it off to give it a quick wipe over.
I have attached a screen shot of the Horsehead in Ha taken with this scope.
