EQ 6 Pro mount $900 with EQdirect USB (no Hand controller)

[stanlite]

Hello all,

For sale to a worthy home the mount that got me really into astronomy my venerable NEQ6 - Pro.

I haven't used it since November 2012 when I moved over to my G11(have run it a few times to check it still works... it does).

Sadly the Sky Scan Controller perished early on the morn of the transit of Venus in June 2012 When it died in a puff of smoke.

The mount comes with a EQdirect USB connection which is what i have used since i got the mount and runs fine via EQmod.

I am looking for $900 i am selling at a discount because I need a quick sale and also because i recognize the need by some to spend money getting a hand controller.

I would prefer to sell locally in Brisbane and will drop off the mount to you. If you are interstate or outside SE QLD i will gladly sell you the mount but we will have to come to an arrangement regarding shipping.
P.S. mount comes with both a losmandy and a vixen dovetail heads presently has losmandy dovetail installed

PM if interested

The mount also has three 5kg weights that go with it. I am willing to throw them in for free to Brisbane drop off/pick up customers. For Interstate they are for cost of shipping (only if sold with mount)

Congrats Lewis, but didn't you swear you'd never again own a chinese-made mount? :confused2:

I did, but I am concerned the GPD2 will melt with the FSQ106 and CCD and guidescope...rated to 10kg photographically... the FSQ alone weighs almost 9kg.

I can hypertune. I fiddled with the last one.

Sphinx MIGHT push the FSQ better, but... I am not risking it.
