Vixen GP mount and SS2000PC-SOLD

[Terry B]

Dear All
I have decided to sell my GP mount and SS2000pc. It is version 2.06 and comes with a cable to connect it to a serial port.
The mount was my regular mount but was not big enough when I decided to buy a guide scope and I have now got an EQ6 to support the 2 scopes. I bought it in ~2000. It is not on a vixen tripod but on an aluminium tripod with an adapter plate. The mount is OK but could probably do with a strip down and regrease. I have never done this.
The SS2000Pc is a very accurate goto system and is no longer available new. I have never had any problems with it and still have the original packaging.
I have boxes that I can package it in.
I would like $1100 plus shipping for it. It is currently in Armidale.

Dear Terry, I am in the market for just such a mount, how abot $900 + freight ? Regards Gerald

[Gerald Sargent]

Dear Terry, I now realise that this is a basic GP mount ( pale green and
not white) I therefor have no interest, regards Gerald.

[Terry B]

Thanks Gerald. Yes it is a pale green GP mount. Still for sale. I would be happy to separate the SS2000PC if anyone is interested in it alone. I also have the original DD-1 motors and controller for the mount if the SS2000 is sold separately.

Hello,

How much for the Mount with DD-1 motors and controller?

What is the load capacity of this mount?

[Terry B]

It has a capacity rated at 7kg. Vixen tend to be conservative with their estimates and it seems to cope with that weight. I used it with a VC200L and was able to image unguided 30 sec exposures with a keep rate of about 60%.
I am now guiding on a bigger mount. It is not big enough to support a guide scope with the VC200L.

$350 plus postage.
