UPDATED: Mount is SOLD, other items still for sale...
I'm selling my much-loved HEQ5Pro with the first photography OTA I had on it, a Skywatcher Black Diamond 150mm f/5 Newtonian reflector. Would make an excellent starter wide-field photography or visual set-up. The mount tracks well, I've used the 150mm scope and mount with a DSLR and an autoguider (not included) to produce the sample photos attached (
NGC6559,
NGC300,
Carina Nebula). It's been on a few adventures to remote locations, so is cosmetically not in pristine condition, but it is fully functional.
