Computerized HEQ 5 PRO mount.
I have been using this mount for astrophotography over the last 18 months or so and have had some great results using the mounts internal tracking.
As I have aperture fever I have gone up in scope size and have had to go up in mount size as well, I now offer this mount for sale.
Mount is in good used condition, no cuts or bangs, there is some minor wear marks on the mount.
If you are in the ASV I will include a base block I use at LMDSS on the astrophotography field piers.
Price : $950.00
