My AP rig largely stays under 10kg & I have no plans to upsize in the future as it is very much a side hobby to my main passion which is visual observing.
Mount must be useable in the 10 - 17 degree latitude range & either already have or be upgradeable to a dual Losmandy/Vixen saddle.
Mounts that immediately come to mind include:
Ioptron CEM25P
Ioptron CEM40
Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro
Celestron Advanced VX (although, not sure about the reliability of this mount)
Losmandy GM8G
There may be others out there that I have not considered & I am certainly open to advice/offers
I don't want to spend a fortune (can't afford to anyway) but, if anyone has a relatively lightweight EQ mount they are considering selling then please contact me to discuss.
Thankyou in anticipation of a flood of offers...  |
I have a Skyview Pro EQ5 mount, I will sell without a tripod -- Dont have a tripod with it.
It has two motors fitted, but no control box. Bintel sells control box with motors for $199.
Bintel told me that these were not sold in Australia.
