Relisted from a few months ago. I had to take it down, as I was away for work. Now that I have time, I am able to relist.

A hard item to come by. Generally, once they are bought, they are held onto.


For those who are not sure, a de-rotator allows the user to take longer-exposure images, while using an ALT/AZ mount.


I had so little luck in buying one locally, that I had to get this one from the US through Astromart a couple of years ago. Only a couple of minor cosmetic marks appear on the body of this device.

Sadly, it hasn't had much use in that time, and now that I have a wedge, it has just been in my "spares pile" of items.

The de-rotator works very well, and is designed for LX-200 scopes, from 8-12" apertures (according to the box). Blackwidow (Mardy) was good enough to give me the instructions a couple of years back, and I will include them in this package as well.

Comes in the original padded Meade box, as per the images, and also has the necessary RS-232 cable.
