I recently upgraded to the latest Star Adventurer GTI therefore I no longer need my original Star Adventurer Gen 1.
Purchased this brand new in 2018. Didn't use it as much as I probably should have over the years but it has been an excellent portable/travel mount. Used it mainly for solar work and deep sky.
Please note this isn't the 2nd generation 2i or Mini, this is the 1st generation.
There were two packs that were initially released (Photo & Astro). I am selling the Astro pack.
Contents include:
- Star Adventurer mount
- Ball head adapter
- Illuminated Polar Scope
- EQ wedge
- Mounting assembly
- Counter weight including shaft
- Original packaging and paperwork
I also purchased an additional counterweight kit (including a second shaft) as I needed additional weight to balance my telescope. I will include it in this kit which is valued at around $40.
I will also include a custom 3D printed adapter I created to help polar align the mount with ease, 2x 3D printed bolt knobs to easily screw the counterweight stopper on the shaft & an adapter to apply the polemaster.
Had a look on the forums at the prices of the various Star Adventurer models to see how I can price this one. I found the following:
- Gen 1 $350
- Mini $400
- 2i Pro $450-$500
- GTI $700
Based on this pricing I will sell this kit (including the additional counterweight kit & 3D printed parts) at $400 pickup or plus post. Post will be (estimating) between $30 and $45 but I will get a firm quote once I get interest.
Please note if you want the original box, postage will be extra as I am including extra parts not included in the original kit and there is no room to fit it in the box as the foam is cut to size for the mount only!
I need to go through various boxes and cupboards to gather all the parts which I will do later this week.
If interested send me a PM.
