Hi, I'm absolutely interested. I'm an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer based in Adelaide. If you like, you can see some of my images here (almost all taken using a simple DSLR zoom lens set-up pigged-backed onto an EQ mount - 100's of lights in some cases due to a very poor RA drive).

I know very little about your specific brand of telescope so please forgive me if I sound ignorant. Does this instrument come with the tripod on an equatorial mount with driven RA? DEC I am not so worried about. If so, does it include Periodic Error Correction? Also if so, is there a method for rough polar alignment other than using drift correction.

I don't see an obvious sighting scope on the OTA. Is one included?

Does the scope come with a protective case?

I assume that the optical diagonal is included but what other eyepieces are included in the sale?

Sorry for being a pain.

Regards,

Steve
