Reluctantly selling my Vixen Starbook S GOTO system. This will fit the GPD2, GPDX and the Skywatcher EQ5 (NOT HEQ5). It is a VERY precisely engineered system.
The Starbook handcontroler itself is much like a Gameboy, but actually is quite intuitive to use. The display shows starcharts, you can zoom in on your target to see roughly what it looks like etc. I fully updated the firmware recently (which made the motors a LOT quieter)
Everything included, in the original Vixen box. Only reason I am selling it is because I fitted a Skywatcher Goto system on my GPD2.I have kept this all the time, thinking I may revert one day.
Price is $250 including postage across Australia and NZ.
These are out of production now, so no more to buy.
It has an ST4 guider port, a LAN port, and it was also modified (professionally) to take a mains adapter instead of just the batteries in the HC. All control cables included, just not in the photo.
