Discmounts DM6 with AP Tripod

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.

I purchased this from an IIS member in Adelaide and had it shipped to Brisbane with a plan to couple it with some large binoculars. Plans now preclude that option so it is for sale in Brisbane. In fact I haven’t unpacked it so the photos are from the original ad.

$2700
