Ioptron CEM25 Mount & 1.5" Tripod

Bought this from another IIS member a while ago but, never got around to using it other than to test it's function & update the firmware.

Decided to go a simpler route for casual AP so, this is now on the market

Mount head is neatly packed in a purpose built Ioptron hardcase.

Will include an Orion Vixen - Losmandy adapter so that you can use a scope with a Losmandy plate with this scope should you choose.

Price $1000 plus postage

Postage will require two packages, one for the mount in it's case & one for the tripod. Expect shipping to cost around $200 all up, fully insured via AUSPOST. Willing to explore cheaper options if they exist.
