I advertised this recently then withdrew it as I once again planned to acquire some large binoculars. I’m in two minds though so I’ll see if someone wants it.
I finally unwrapped it all and I have to say it is absolutely beautiful looking. The Astrophysics tripod is more beautiful than the Berlebach Planet. The DM6 with Argo Navis offers the pure simplicity of push-to pointing. No electronic motors or external power required. I will also include the original info which is useful
$2900 posted which is what I paid about a month or so ago.
Discmounts DM-6 Alt-Az mount with Astro-Physics wooden tripod with Argo Navis push-to.
Discmounts DM-6 with
Robin Cassady 8" D series saddle
Argo Navis 10k encoders
Argo Navis DTC
ArgoNavis serial communications cable (pn-ser-cbl)
ArgoNavis external DC power cable (pn-pwr-cbl)
Mounting Cradle
I have changed over the original plastic covers to aluminium plate and included a carry handle.
Discmounts 200mm Tripod Extender
Astro-Physics (Baader) AWT-000 Adjustable Wooden Tripod
Double leg clamps
Discmounts DM-6 to Losmandy adapter plate
Lapides tripod spreader (which are almost impossible to source now)
DIY tripod dolly
In terms of portability of the mount/tripod, please find the respective specs below....
Weight of DM6 mount head with accessories = 8.9kg
Weight of extender = 2.5kg (3.6kg with A-P adapter for tripod)
Weight of tripod = 10.8kg
The equipment is in excellent working condition. :confused2:
