Skywatcher AZEQ5

Hi all,

I am selling my AZEQ5 due to an upgrade. Great condition. I have tuned it myself to get better tracking for astrophotography and has almost halved my guiding errors on PHD2. I have pulled out the pier extension and replaced it with my own 3D-printed sleeve.

It can be used in alt az mode or equatorial mode. I have used alt az for some planetary work however I have primarily used equatorial mode. Alt Az is very easy to use for visual observing.

Included is the mount, tripod, pier extension, 2x 3.5kg counterweighs, counterweight bar extension, 12V cigarette socket power supply, the 3D-printed sleeve, and hand controller.

Unfortunately, I can't include the computer ASCOM cable as I need it for the new mount.

$1400 pickup in Canberra. Possible to drive about an hour to drop off or meet up. Unfortunately without a box, I can't ship it. $2300 new from Sirius Optics so a 40% price reduction.
