EDIT: unfortunately due to Covid lockdown on the Northern Beaches I was not able to go down the south coast on holiday as planned, so was unable to complete the previous pending sale. Therefore, this is back for sale and $100 cheaper than the price agreed with the previous buyer of $1100. If anyone is keen I can organise for a socially distanced, masked, and non- contact pickup from the garage. Note that myself and my family have all tested negative for Covid and have been locked down in the house since this all started. Fun times with small children (I bet you in Vic know all about this). May need to wait until after 23rd when lockdown lessens though.
NEQ6 Pro Mount
With great regret I'm selling my setup. I've moved into a house with no sky view (damn trees), and with 2 little kids and their bags, surfboards, games, and everything else I can't fit my scope into the car to take it away on holiday anymore. Not that I have any time to skywatch on holidays anymore anyway.
The old adage of the best scope being the one you will actually use comes into play here, so unfortunately this one's got to go (to be replaced by either my tracking scope on a mount or some other smaller grab and go setup)
Cash on pickup preferred please, from Beacon Hill, Sydney.
- Good condition, some scratches but solid as a rock
- Has dual D and V dovetail mounting plate
- Power supply for mains operation
- A long cigarette lighter cable for a battery pack (battery not included)
- 3 x 5kg weights (rather than the usual 1-2)
- Counterbalance tube extender
- Synscan Hand controller, cables, manuals, etc
- The crappy original knobs have been replaced with decent ones
- HiTecAstro EQSCOM Serial to USB cable, for connecting to a laptop for PHD2 control etc
- Plastic tub for all the accessories
$1100
