Bought on IIS in 2015. Has been used with an 80mm APO and an 8” SCT for live video astronomy. Its good enough for that - I can get unguided 30-60sec subs for stacking when polar aligned (see pic of M42 with DSLR). But I’m upgrading to a larger mount, so it has to go to fund that.
- Has an ADM accessories Dual DV Series saddle (see pic). So you can mount scopes with losmandy D-type or vixen dovetails.
<http://www.admaccessories.com/DV_Series_Saddles.htm> Celestron CG5.
- It has the latest versions of hand and motor controller firmware installed (see pic). Also, there’s a cable for handcontroller-RS232 (I think I’ve also got a spare USB-RS232 so you can connect to computer).
- 2x counterweights (I think they are 5kg). Also have a counterweight extension (not pictured).
- 1500mAh polymer lithium-ion battery, cable and charger (see pic). This will power the mount for 4-5hrs.
- I’ve added a bluetooth board inside the handcontroller. So can control mount with skysafari (plus or pro) from an android phone or an ipad, without any external devices. If you don’t want this I’ll take it out.
Local pickup (northern Sydney suburbs) as I only have the packing for the tripod. If want any other pics let me know.
$425 or offer.
Cheers, Chris
