Vixen SXD Mount

[Profiler]

Just testing the waters to see whether anyone has one of these older Vixen mounts they might consider selling?

Please note I am not after the SXW model with the blue side plates but rather the SXD model with the black and white colour scheme.

If you have one you might consider selling please send me a PM

Just in response to a question - I am interested in a SXD with or without a tripod - so basically I am interested in anything that might be available

You do know the new Vixen software / firmware update for the Starbook from April this year completely fixes the declination jump bug Richard? The SXW I have now tracks and guides as well as the GPD2 (which is incredible).

If you don't patch the software, Vixen also now tells you how to avoid the dec jump issue entirely (last alignment is done MANUALLY instead of syncing with the slewing). Easier just to patch it :)

PS: here's my facelifted SXW - NOT for sale: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=125849

Thanks Lewis

Okay - all very interesting but I am still looking for a Vixen SXD mount just in case anyone has one they might consider selling

How much are you willing to pay for the mount ? Do you need the HAL tripod as well ?
