Mach 1 with Eagle Pier

Hi all,

After retiring from astrophotography last year, I found that for visual pursuits, a simple alt-az is all I need at the moment. Therefore my trusty and good looking Mach 1 is up for grabs. The mount was purchased in October 2016 directly from Astro-Physics and has been looked after very well. The cost at the time, including shipment and import duties, was in excess of 11k AUD.

What’s included:
Mach1 mount with GTOCP4 controller
6” Eagle Pier
8.5” Saddle Plate for Losmandy D-series dovetail
Two 9 pound counterweights and one 6 pound counterweight
Cables, AP’s greasing kit and manuals

Some images taken with this mount (while I had a good night sleep, being confident that the mount is flawlessly doing its job throughout the entire night):

Price is AU$6800 which includes shipping and insurance. We are located in the Whitsundays, so could drive to Mackay or Townsville.
