OK, I picked up the Clubs 120mm and EQ5 today.

On first inspection I was already happy. The condition was excellent. Geez it's a big scope!!!!!

The gentleman selling it was a very nice chap. We got talking and he showed me his Lunar images he took through it. Pretty good!!!

Then I showed him our images in IIS. He was flabbergasted

He said he is almost changing his mind about selling, and get back into using the scope after seeing our images

He is going to join IIS and also the SVAA (I should be a salesman)

At Home: I assembled the scope to the mount and checked the drives. All working perfectly

Tonight I will see how accurate the tracking is.

Daylight viewing thru it gives crystal clear views.

Below:
The OTA, the mount, and the front lens. All in pristine condition.
