Heq5

This has been my staple visual mount for the better half of a decade, it is one of the older black pre-SynScan HEQ5s. It is possible tp upgrade this to a goto but I believe the upgrade kit is around the $750 mark so not cheap. It uses the older stepper motor 2x 8x 16x hand paddle. I have done some wide field imaging with a D7200 over the years and although it tracks well I don't imagine that the PE is that great.

It has a PoleMaster adapter fitted and an ADM D saddle but I also still have the original head for it as well. Comes with the power pack, tripod and 2x weights.

$350 pickup
