Thinking of selling my DSV-1. It was bought in May 2013 at the same time as my DSV-3 but I've hardly used the smaller one (mainly because I have Sky Commander on the DSV-3 and am too impatient to star hop).
This is the twin dovetail model so you can mount two scopes side by side if you wish.
According to the manufacturer:
"The DSV-1 is recommended for refractors up to 102mm F/7, Schmidt-Cassegrains up to 8", Mak-Cass up to 6" in aperture".
Here's the link to the website: http://www.desertskyastro.com/DSV-1.html
The screw fitting on the bottom is the surveyor fit 5/8"-11 but they also made me an adapter that converts it to standard photo tripod size (3/8"-16). [No tripod included in sale].
It's in near perfect condition apart from a few little scratches and a couple of tiny chips around one of the dovetail clamps.
Asking $250 plus shipping or pickup is available from Ryde (Sydney).
I'm guessing shipping will be around $30 for the east coast. The mount would be well packed in a large box to ensure it arrives undamaged.
Enquiries by PM please.
