Celestron Nexstar SLT Go-to mount with tripod

Hi,

The Nexstar mount is an computerized alt-az, and is what I had used with my 90mm Maksutov on it - for viewing and imaging solar eclipses from my home. The mount was used infrequently, never travelled - works fine and the hand controller had been updated with the latest firmware. I have the original box but due to its size (length), would probably suit a local buyer who can pick it up.

The hand controller is a Nexstar updated to 4.21 back in Jan 2013. Motor controllers updated to 5.18 also at the same time. Included with the mount is the Celestron version of The Sky Level 1 cd, plus a Nexstar observer cd.

This was originally part of the Nexstar 80SLT, but the OTA was sold in 2014. I thought I keep it as a travel mount, but it's been in its box since then, until yesterday when I got it out to test it. All working well - $180 ono.
