Post Astrophotography Gear: HEQ5 Pro GOTO + Awesome Autoguider Package + Skyfi + more!

Hi folks,

Looks as if I'll be moving overseas shortly, and am looking to offload a few things that I won't be able to lug with me...

All equipment sold in a used condition, but has seen very little actual work (half a dosen times outside tops) and has been well looked after, despite a few paint chips here and there.
Would suit new buyers looking to get into Astrophotography, possibly already having an imaging scope, but needing a heavier mount and autoguiding function.


What I have:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro Goto mount (upgradable Synscan handcontroller).

Bonus $64 Shoestring USB2 EQ5 Interface cable (RJ45 -> USB2 for connecting mount directly to laptop via ASCOM/EQDIR).

$1000

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Orion Awesome Autoguider Package: Shortube ST80 + Starshoot Autoguider + Tube extender (camera focus) + Rings and Vixen dovetail bar.

Bonus Orion 12.5mm Plossl Illuminated Recticle eyepiece (used for drift alignment).

$400 Sold
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Carina Software Skyfi wireless telescope controller. Use your iPhone + Skysafari application to control the mount wirelessly!

Does NOT include my iPhone or Skysafari application, but I'll throw in the 6 spare AA batteries i had for it.

$100 Sold

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Items are pickup only from Chadstone, VIC.

Cash on pickup or Bank Transfer prefered.

I'm a reasonable chap and won't sell you something broken, but this is obvoiusly specialised equipment and you need to know what you're in for BEFORE buying.
I won't accept returns for any kind of usability or poor-alignment issues.


Cheers!
