Giro II mount For Sale PENDING SALE
This is an excellent alt/az mount suitable for a range of telescope sizes. I used this some years ago with a Skywatcher 150m F8 refractor and it provided very steady views and was very smooth in all motions. It's also excellent with smaller telescopes.
The mount is used and is in good condition. It is not "as new" as it has a few rub small marks. It comes with the original silver clamp plus I added the black Bintel dovetail clamp. This can be easily removed to use the counterweight bar. Note that I used barbell weights which are not included.
It comes with the mounting bolt, counterweight bar, mounting plate (a bit rough and ready) and a homemade attachment for attaching weights to one clamp.
Here's a Cloudynights thread discussing the mount: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/1...giro-ii-mount/
Price - $220, including post to eastern states.
