In 2013 I built the telescope with an Istar 6" f12 objective which gives very fine views for an achromat. This is my version of a Unitron 6" scope.
Features:
3" linear bearing GSO focuser.
Rigel System electric focuser.
70x900 Skywatcher achro with 2" focuser and diagonal.
Two finder scopes.
Rails and extra sliding counterweights, for perfect balance.
As its a large scope I then built the mount and pier. Solid as a rock.
Mount has twin Byers slip clutches' simple AWR tracking system, 10K encoders and Argo Navis DSC's. For power a 100 amp hour Battery and 240 to 12V convertor included.
Selling as trees have grown to high for any enjoyment on all sides :(
Price??? For the whole lot shown how about $4K or make an offer.
Really needs an Obs out in the country (which is not possible for me)

Send a PM if interested in mount and scope or mount only or scope only!
