I am selling a 4 week old HEQ5 Pro (Synscan GOTO) complete. It's less than 4 weeks old, and has NEW DEC and RA motors (did the upgrade kit on a "standard" HEQ5). NOTE: this is an HEQ5, NOT an EQ% - I am sure you know there is a WORLD of difference! (the HEQ5 is a slightly lighter HEQ6) So do NOT be confused thinking this is the EQ5.

Generic picture attached - mine is the same. Not a mark on it. It's BLACK, not white.

Asking $850 ONO on it - that's $400 saving from new, and this thing may as well be new. Comes in the original box, with all accessories, weights etc. 2 boxes - one for the tripod and other bits, one for the head.

FREIGHT IS EXTRA at buyers expense.

Yep, I have upgraded to an NEQ6 Pro because of weight of my new setup - a Vixen VC200L plus an ED80 guidescope, guider, guider rings... you get the idea!

There was an issue with the old dec motor, but that has been replaced by Tasco gratis (a factory flaw in the cog). The mount works FLAWLESSLY.

Hi, If the sale falls through I would be interested. I was actually thinking seriously about remounting my CPC925 after a mount electronics problem on the weekend.
