It's got a few marks and sctratches but both drives work fine. Just remember you are not buying a new mount.

Mount in packing box: 340x420x260deep 600g
Tropod legs: folded in 850x150 400g

Could anyone tell me how to upload an image please

Hi Carl, I might be interested in this too, what kind of attachment for the OTA, eg, is it a standard Dovetail? I have a Celestron 6SE
