I am clearing out all of my visual equipment and am offering here my hardly used Celestron CG-3 EQ mount with the optional RA motor drive. Photos are attached.
I am offering this good condition complete mount here for $100. Given the size and weight it is not easily shipped (no boxes), so local pickup is preferred and keeps the cost down. I could possible deliver it on the Central Coast of NSW, but ask me first.

If your interested in this great beginners mount, just PM me here at IIS.
Thanks for looking.

Hi there,

Do you reckon this mount would work rather well with the Skywatcher 150x750p reflector OTA listed on this page? Perhaps I'd need a bracket or something? Or is it better off using Celestron w/ a Celestron OTA?

Hi, I owned a 3" refractor on an equatorial mount about 10 years ago, but it was damaged as i was getting into astronomy and never replaced it. I'd just got the hang of using an equatorial too.

Cheers,

Mick (located in Sydney)

Maybe it would be ok. This mount is supplied as part of a package with the Celestron Astromaster 130mm newtonian, so size is close. The mount clamp area is the industry standard Vixen style which most smaller scopes use.

Mount still available. It's a bargain at $100 with RA motor.
