Hi,
I have recently upgraded my mount and my trusty HEQ5 Pro is now looking for a new home.
I am the second owner of this mount and have installed the Rowan astronomy Belt upgrade. As a result I can consistently get tight round stars at 15min plus exposures (tested on 400mm and 600mm focal length) I have run tests at 30min and was still happy with the results however from my light polluted skys this is a little pointless.
The mount come with one standard counterweight and another counterweight the previous owner made, which works quite well.
I have also upgraded the power cord and connector resulting in a much more secure connection.
I also have a pelican style case (from bunnings) for the equatorial head.
Image of m17 is a single 15min sub @ 600mm. Image of Carina is a stack of 2min subs at 400mm. You can see more images taken with this mount at http://www.astrobin.com/users/gvarouha/
Price: $675
Local pick up is preferred. Feel free to PM with any questions.
Thanks for looking
George
