I have a new, in the box Synscan GOTO conversion kit suitable for the Vixen GPD2 and it's Chinese clones - Celestron CG5, Skywatcher EQ5, Bresser EQ5 etc etc ad nauseum.
Absolutely the best GOTO conversion kit available for these, with FAR higher QA than the iOptron GOTONova (that won't fit right out of the box anyway!). Includes RA and Dec motors, Synscan computer, motor control board, cables, gears - the whole encilada. Details here: http://www.astroshop.com.au/products/details.asp?id=MAS-022K
This is absolutely new - never taken out of the bags, and still in the box. I bought it as a spare for my GPD2 "just in case" after the MCB blew in mine earlier this year (I bought a new MCB from Teleskop-Express after Tasco Australia simply ignored all communication with me in this matter - not even a NO - and installed it in my GPD2, leaving this kit untouched/whole).
New, these kits vary wildly in price, from Steve Massey's (linked to above) GREAT price of $659 (where I bought it), to absolutely asinine price of $795 from one stealer...I mean dealer, to $999 from an online joker. All those prices are WITHOUT post.
I am willing to part with it for $400, postage inclusive.
Reason for selling - I need a set of 2" LRGB/NB filters :)
Picture - sure, I can photograph the box, but the contents are the same as in the link, and new.
