ES80mm Triplet W/HEQ5pro

Purchased this off a fellow member so i'm the second owner (thought i'd mention that first)

$2000
- Explore Scientific 80mm Triplet (reticle finderscope etc)
- HEQ5PRO (latest version) w/Rowan Astro Belt mod
- Primaluce Labs losmandy style dovetail clamp
- 7" Losmandy dovetail plate
- Long Perng tube clamps (only because the William Optics were sold out)
- Cases for the scope and mount head
- Original manuals and instructions for both the mount and telescope as well as the original Vixen dovetail clamp (which leaves those horrible marks on the dovetail bar!)

So I bought this while I was working night shift with the idea to build a solid but semi-portable imaging platform. It has never been taken outside and only set up in the living room to check if the accessories I bought fit and made sure it ran smoothly with everything (which it does of course). I've owned it now for about 2 or 3 months and its been set up and tested less than a handful of times, bit of a shame really but since I'm still on night shift I have zero time to use it and just far too tired now.

*There is a crack on the polar scope cap, it still fits on as seen in the photos, but this doesn't affect the performance etc.

Will post

Kind Regards
Thomas
