Takahashi Teegul Sky-Patrol II Equatorial Mount
I bought this from Tony Hallas 2 years ago. Works like a gem and is in very good condition, only a few paint marks.
Has all the options.
I paid $800 USD. Asking $800 AUD.
Please note I am overseas for a couple weeks. I have left it with a relative in Chatswood and you can inspect it there or we can ship from there.
Factory description:
The Teegul Sky-Patrol II mount offers a light and effective equatorial base to travel with a small telescope.
The TG-SP3 is a very modular unit. It is made of a rigid one-arm fork mount motorised in right ascension axis, ideal for example for FS-60CB refractor. The handbox, integrating 6V compartment, is included.
An additional kit makes it possible to use the TG-SP3 with other light telescopes (under 3kg weight). This kit can be bought with the TG-SP3 mount as a package or in a second time, according to end user needs. This kit includes a counterweight shaft and a counterweight in order to transform TG-SP3 base into a true German mount. Using this kit will give you some clearance on both axis, RA and DEC, allowing the assembly of longer telescope OTAs.
