Purchased from another IIS member four years ago and been sitting in my lounge for the last three years since I upgraded to an ASA Astrosysteme DDM85 Direct Drive mount three months after buying this unit.

This is a used unit from my personal telescope collection and is being sold as I need to clear space in my collection as I am literally drowning in telescopes. This is a private sale of a mount from my personal collection.

Pick up from Bentleigh, Melbourne only

Thanks for looking

What year was this particular mount built? Is it post 2010 where access to the gears is easy?

Mountain Instruments no longer exists.
Do you have any idea how to get a different rocker for those outside the latitude range 30 to 40 deg?

Is the field pier available/included ?
