HEQ5Pro Mount

HEQ5Pro goto mount in excellent condition.
2 years old, purchased new by original owner (Hagar) in June 2007.
Well maintained including worm adjustments and lubrication.

Includes:
- Mount with 2 x 5.1kg counter weights
- Integrated polar alignment scope
- Tripod with accessory tray and 1.75" stainless steel legs
- Synscan Hand Controller (13,400 object database)
- Original instruction manuals

Attached below are some shots taken with this mount (using ED80 with Canon 450D).
I am selling due to upgrade to Losmandy GM8 (in prep for longer focal length AP of galaxies).

Below is a link to a fairly thorough HEQ5Pro review on IIS:

New price at Andrews or Bintel $1,499
Selling for $880

I have no packaging for the mount and tripod, so local pickup only.

Please send me a PM if interested.

Cheers,
Jeff
