Reduced Price! Takahashi EM-200 mount with Tripod

Hi Guys - Here is the mount now with pictures. The over all condition is great. There are a few scratches in the paintwork but the performance is fantastic. I regularly took 5 min images at 530mm fl without any guiding and the stars were pinpoints.

The mount is the Goto version with a genuine TAK tripod. The Tripod has a small chip in one leg and the tray (powder coated mild steel) has some rust spots.

It comes with a 24V power supply, all the usual cables. There are two 5kg counterweights and a custom 2kg unit.

It will handle a 5" scope but in my case it spent its life with a 4" scope so it hasn't been over loaded.

The mount comes with TAK's super accurate polar scope that will get you to within 2' of the pole in a few minutes of set-up.

$4500 free delivery in Sydney Metro - buyer pays freight elsewhere.
