I have for sale a Meade starfinder eq mount, 240-12v power pack, 2 piers plus about 14kg weights and straps for 6" & 8" Newt.
This mount has single axis ra tracking only.
I have managed 10-15 sec exposures using this mount for astrophotography. See attached images I've taken using this mount.
This mount got me into astrophotography and has served me well. Its not perfect it does has some periodic error but it get the job done with patience.
It is build very solid and can handle a 10" or 12" newt which i have put on it before.
1 Pier is ready to be bolted to the ground ready to go and the other just need 3 holes drilled into the top and painted.
This would make a great visual mount or an introductory mount into astrophotography.
Buyer must take the lot.(OTA NOT included)
Price $100 pickup only
Thanks,
Paula
