Hola IIS, I'm selling two of my largest astro items due to moving overseas to the US at the end of the month.

Priced to clear hopefully - and if not the price will keep dropping until sold, so get in quick if you like the look of them :)

Belt modded, ADM saddle, HEQ5 Pro w/ telegizmos cover - $900
Also includes
- Bunnings foam hard case for mount head
- weights carry bag
- A custom cable loom that has eq direct, power and USB in it

I've had this since early 2019, absolutely no complaints with it. It has spent a lot of its life outside under a telegizmos cover so there is some rust on various, but functionally fine. I have replaced the tripod leg bolts once in the past, and its probably due another change now with some stainless steel bolts this time around.


GSO RC8, Moonlite 2.5" focuser -$700 SOLD
Also includes:
- 2 x 1" extension rings (the 2" one is attached to the scope in pics)

Used to be my main scope when using a 1600MM, but used it less vs short FL lenses after switching to a 6200MM and never quite dialing in the flattener right.

For autofocus it uses my custom ASCOM controller, details here: https://github.com/AlistairSymonds/SympleAstroFocus

For now, both of these are pickup/meet somewhere only in Sydney (north shore). But if no one bites I'll look into what postage would take.

If someone wants both I'll knock another $100 off :)

For samples of both of these together - look for images with diffraction spikes in this album:
