Skywatcher Heavy duty Deluxe Equatorial. Motorised. Pay loads up to 17kg. Code: HEQ5MNT This heavy-duty mount is a smaller version of the sturdy EQ6 mount. It is specially designed for observers who need the steadiness of the EQ6 mount. but find the EQ6 mount too physically demanding. Like the EQ6 mount. this high-precision equatorial mount features engraved aluminum setting circles and a latitude scale. built-in polarscope for both North and Southern Hemisphere use. large R.A. and DEC. locking clamps. electric slow-motion controls on both axes. and retractable counterweight shaft and counterweight. The proposed strong and rigid field tripod is remarkably stable with adjustable height. incorporating 1.5"-diameter steel tripod legs. http://images.nvt.com.au/product-ima...6330152_tn.gif Price: AUD $1,049.40 Freight Within Australia: AUD $18.00
Would a husky girl be able to cope with it? I reckon so also note steel legs (not you jjjnettie !) |
thats the
heq5 not the eq6... i dont know wht jeanette wants to put on there but if its her reflector she'd need teh eq6 not the heq5. also thats not the goto one. I got the exact same mount from andrews for $799. its not listed on thier site any more tho. i think AOE has really good prices on teh heq5 if thats the way she wants to go
