Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro Mount and Tripod

Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro Mount and Tripod.


The mount was used on my observatory since new, so the tripod has had no use - just stored in the shed till now. Not that that makes a lot of difference to the tripod.


The mount has some minor rust appearing on the counterweight shaft where it was hidden by the weights in the observatory - see close up attached.


Hand piece has had very little use. The mount was controlled using EQ-Direct and EQ-MOD. I have plugged it up and made sure all is working as it should.


There is an extra little cable plugged into the handpiece which is included for free. I think it was probably for an early remote control method before I settled on EQ-MOD. It is not required for normal handpiece operation.


$1250 (was $1500) pickup in Oberon only as I don't have packing for the mount and tripod. I am prepared to assist by driving up to 2 hours to meet halfway for handover if this helps.
