Sky Watcher HEQ5Pro Mount

Fully functioning and in great cosmetic condition.

Synscan handset running version 3.35, Rowan Engineering belt drive kit (as fitted by previous owner), 2 counterweights, weight extension bar, 12V and mains power cords (both aftermarket), glow-in-the-dark axes clamps, and a can of white colour matched touch-up paint.

Comes with print-out of instruction manual, belt kit receipt and instructions. Also original clamps and the parts removed when the belt kit was fitted.

Purchased here on IIS, I used this mount to video record asteroid occultations with my Celestron C9.25 OTA (also for sale). I'd always wanted to try one of these mounts and was glad I did. I enjoyed the learning curve and it's great for its GOTO abilities once aligned. I'd never tried auto-guiding with this mount -my use for it didn't require that amount of tracking accuracy.

Selling only due to (and to offset) recent purchase of a larger Alt-Az setup.

For local sale, Melbourne and surrounds. I don't have the original packaging, and I'd rather the buyer inspect the mount before purchasing.

The mount is located bayside at Parkdale.
Inspection welcome and encouraged.

$850

Thanks for looking.
Regards, Dean
