I'll take $350 for this.
I'm selling my EQ5 mount to finance new equipment:
1. The mount has dual RA and Dec drives
2. Polarscope
3. Aluminium tripod
4. Bubble level on tripod
5. The mount has been stripped and regreased as described here (http://www.astronomyboy.com/cg5/) .
6. The thumbnail shows a pic of omega centauri taken at 1200mm focal length, consisting of 25 stacked 30s unguided subs, so tracking is acceptable. You could also hand guide or use a shorter focal length for longer exposures.
Asking $400, pick up from Sydney anytime or from Mudgee area on a new moon weekend.
