Skywatcher EQ 8 Mount

I'm sad to see this go because its an excellent heavy duty mount capable of taking plenty of gear, and easy to Polar Align. I sold the field tripod some time ago and I placed it on a Pegusus pier.

Its been behaving beautifully ever since. I have found it easy to Polar Align visually using a 6mm eyepiece and 2x Barlow.

It comes with its original heavy duty padded box which is one wheels, and three EQ8 counterweights.

Its currently mounted in my Observatory in SE Queensland but should be coming home next week.

I shall be happy to post, or email more images then if required.

I'm asking $2500.

PM's only please or phone me on 0412 552 322
