Woo Hoo! You should buy a lottery ticket - you're on a roll!

The ASA DDM85 would cost around AUD$19,000 landed and handles up to 65kg so its still a very expensive mount.

The fellow selling the 16 inch RCOS and Paramount ME is here:

You never know he may break up the package if no takers for the lot.

From memory I actually paid about AUD$11500 for mine in a similar situation. Shipping from WA though was about $950 though.
But you save the GST and shipping from Mooruk or wherever it is may be less than mine but allow at least $600 no matter where it goes. It is quite big and heavy and several boxes.


I did see an older Paramount Mount a while back that had been updated and to the later electronics but was not an ME. It went for a really low price. So if you have the time I'd monitor the Astromart mount ads. Something will come up eventually or place a wanted ad there.

Greg.
