iOpton Skytracker with polar scope
Simple tracking mount for DSLR astrophotography. I think this was the original version and lots of other versions have been produced since. Needs a tripod and ball head mount.
The mount requires 12V and does not come with a 12V lead (they are pretty standard). There is space for 2 AA batteries but this function DOES NOT WORK on this mount (not sure why).
Tracks well - included a couple of quick photos from last night showing its tracking of venus (wasn't polared aligned etc given I can't see the pole from suburban Sydney.
Asking $100. Would prefer local pickup (North Shore of Sydney).
Photos below. Note that the tripod and camera are not included.
