How old is the EQ5 & what features has it got?

I am after an EQ5 with slo-mo controls, dual motor drives & steel legs.

Thanks

Hi Craig,
This is just the basic EQ5, ie it is not a goto system.
As to age:- although I bought it 5 yrs ago, it is unused in that it came as a package with my Skywatcher 6" refractor, and, not liking equatorial mounts, I substitutued it for an altaz.
best wishes,
john

Hi

Did the lightbridge sell?
If still available what is its current price?

Regards

Peter

Dear Peter,
I realised belate4dly that I needed to 're-collimate' the price, especially of the equatorial mount:- the current and hopefully realistic prices are:-

Meade 16" Deluxe Lightbridge Dobsonian: $1500
Also selling EQ5 mount: $400
I am now using the Lightbridge from my Newcastle/Lake Macquarie viewing platform, but can return it to Sydney if that suits.

Thanks for your interest,
john

Hi, could you tell me how old is your 16" Meade and in case you're still selling it is it posiible to to organise postage of the scope to Melbourne?

Hi,

I see the posting has been there a while. Is the scope still for sale? Also, what is the weight of this unit? I'm interesting in taking occasionally to our viewing field.

Best,

Dave
