[lhansen (Lars)]

Please note the mount has been sold.

I have for sale, an Astro Optics Sampson EQ mount from the early 1980's in fair to good condition.

Capable of carrying up to 25Kg this EQ mount would be an ideal mount for someone wanting to get into imaging cheaply.

Comes with 3 counterweights, RA gear and worm and synchronous motor which work fine.

I'm looking for any reasonable offer.

Due to its weight, pickup is probably the only viable option. However I will ship at buyers expense.

Thanks for looking
