Don't have the time for this device, only used once. Very compact and light weight... Great for travelling with. Ioptrons newest sky tracker.
Paid a little over $450 for it direct from I Optron. Will sell for $400 including express post within Australia.
When I get around to uploading my photos I will, until then I have quickly grabbed photos from the Ioptron website and a photo I have taken using the sky tracker pro.
