Due to health I am reverting to just solar viweing, so will be selling my C14 setup in January, and want to check if there is any interest in the whole kit n kaboodle before breaking it all up.
It is a US made, Fastar compatible grey tube Celestron C14, optics are excellent when viewing, I haven't tried imaging with it native yet, as I bought it for Hyperstar use.
I has the orange/gold loasmandy dovetail on the bottom, and the standard finderscope. 2" Diagonal and standard accessories included. Still has the packing/shipping boxes.
Also included is the latest model hyperstar, which turns the C14 into a 14" f1.9 imaging machine.
It is mounted on a G11, with Ovision worm, and it handles the C14 without a problem, tracks beautifully. The G11 has a custom made wooden carrying case for ease of transport.
I also have an adaptive optics unit, I ran this on my older C9.25 with great results, it turned my (then CGEM) mount into a flawless machine, and let me image for as long as I was willing basically, without any drift.
Autoguiding is handled by the lodestar camera, usually attached to the Adaptive optics system for flawless tracking, due to the sensitivity of the lodestar, I never had a problem finding a guidestar.
There are also a selection of eyepieces, filters, filter wheel and other accessories, a sony colour firewire camera and card for planetary (Cost $1800 alone, similar to the Grasshopper 2 series) and a ton of other stuff I need to go through and catalogue.
It is all in Mudgee, can deliver it to Penrith, Blue Mountains, Orange or Bathurst, or any towns along those routes.
If there is any interest in the whole shebang, I'll do up some photos and come up with some pricing and detail the rest, not interested in breaking it all up at this stage. I'm a picky *******, so this is quality gear optically.
My PMs are tricky, so would prefer email, peter at materialworld dot com dot au
Cheers!
