[ozskywatcher (Josie)]

I am reluctantly putting up for sale my barely used imaging setup for $5,700 (price reduced 24/2/10).

The NEQ6 Pro GOTO Skywatcher mount / 2inch focal reducer / Meade tube assembly was purchased in June 2009 from Bintel for just under the $6,000 mark and has possibly been used 10 times since I bought it.

I am including a 80mm ED Skywatcher refractor and Losmandy tube rings as well to make it an irresistable package. I just don't have the time to use it and would like to free the money up for other purposes.

The package includes:

• NEQ6 Pro GOTO Skywatcher mount (version which can be upgraded over the internet)
• Meade LX200-ACF 10" tube assembley
• 2" mirror diagonal
• 40mm 2" FMC eyepiece
• Red dot finder with matching SCT dovetail bracket
• Losmandy DM10 mounting plate for attaching the Meade LX200ACF OTA to the NEQ6 mount
• Losmandy VSCT17 plate that to allow ED80 refractor to be mounted on top of the Meade 10".
• 80mm ED Skywatcher refractor tube assembly. Note that this was bought second hand. It is in good condition. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is a couple of marks on the tube from the mounting rings. It also comes with a couple of eyepieces and its own diagional.
• Losmandy rings to attach the tube assembly to the Meade tube
• Extra counterweight nessessary because of the weight of the refractor.
• Meade f/6.3 Focal Reducer/Field Flattener (2 inch)
• Tube to allow DSLR to attach to telescope (can't remember techical name off hand!)
  

Given the weight and delicate nature of the optics, I would recommend that a potential purchaser be prepared to pick it up from my home in Canberra.

Once I have worked out how to upload an image, I will upload one of the complete setup.

Paul Floyd.
