Discmounts DM-6 Alt-Az Mount with Astro-Physics Tripod and Argo Navis

Discmounts DM-6 Alt-Az mount with Astro-Physics wooden tripod with Argo Navis push-to.

Discmounts DM-6 with
  • Robin Cassady 8" D series saddle
  • Argo Navis 10k encoders
  • Argo Navis DTC
  • ArgoNavis serial communications cable (pn-ser-cbl)
  • ArgoNavis external DC power cable (pn-pwr-cbl)
  • Mounting Cradle
  • I have changed over the original plastic covers to aluminium plate and included a carry handle.

Discmounts 200mm Tripod Extender

Astro-Physics (Baader) AWT-000 Adjustable Wooden Tripod
  • Double leg clamps
  • Discmounts DM-6 to Losmandy adapter plate
  • Lapides tripod spreader (which are almost impossible to source now)
  • DIY tripod dolly


In terms of portability of the mount/tripod, please find the respective specs below....
  • Weight of DM6 mount head with accessories = 8.9kg
  • Weight of extender = 2.5kg (3.6kg with A-P adapter for tripod)
  • Weight of tripod = 10.8kg

The equipment is in excellent working condition.

Inspection/pickup welcome (metropolitan Adelaide).

Price: $old

If an interstate buyer is happy to organise transport (at their own cost), I would be willing to ship interstate. I have a spare pelican-type case which I could use to pack the mount head and wrap the tripod in bubble wrap. The dolly is pretty solid, but could be disassembled, but probably would need some touch up etc....


Alternative option minus tripod (Shipping via Australia Post)

Alternatively, if someone has a suitable tripod already, I would be able to post the mount head (and Argo Navis) and extender interstate inside a pelican type case.

Price : $old posted anywhere in Australia



Please feel free to get in touch via private message if you would like any further information.
