Lightweight Takahashi field imaging system

[Omaroo]

EDIT: Withdrawn due to an amazing lack of interest. Pity.

For sale: A lightweight but quality imaging system that is easy to take out into the field. All in excellent condition, but with paint chips on the counterbalance weight itself. The mount's spirit level is missing, but is not required if you perform a proper polar alignment anyway.

1 x Takahashi FS-60C fluorite apochromat and FS-60 Flattener (w/Canon t-adapter) (heated)
1 x Takahashi 6x30 finder (heated)
1 x Orion Mini 50 guidescope (heated)
1x Orion Star Shoot Autoguider (SSAG)
1 x Variable PWM heater controller for scope, guidescope and finder
1 x Takahashi EM-10 Temma2 Jr (w/AutoGuide Port) equatorial head, hand controller, power supply & polar scope
1 x Takahashi rotating tripod adapter & lightweight aluminium tripod
1 x Pelican 1550 Road Case for EM-10
1 x Asus eeePC 701 XP netbook running PHD and includes red film, power supply and guide cables.

The lot for $2,950 plus delivery by courier. Bargain. Sorry, but I will not break this lot up - so please don't ask.

Courier or registered postal charges are up to the buyer. I am located in south-western Sydney.

Just for everyone's benefit, this is also being advertised on Facebook on the Mas page, so first in between the two sites wins the day.

OMG that IS a bargain. Want. :(

What is the maximum weight capacity of the mount?

[LewisM]

I believe it is 7kg Chris. Hope it helps

Officially 7 Lewis, reputed to be conservative, but when imaging...you know the drill. This is a lightweight system that makes it wonderfully easy to carry and assemble miles from nowhere. It doesn't carry what an EQ6 or G11 does, but then it isn't designed for that.

This system will be going on to eBay this Saturday. Thanks again for looking :)
