Mountain Instruments MI250 Mount

Selling my Mountain Instruments Mi-250 goto mount. This mount is in excellent condition and always housed in an observatory.

I measured Peak to Peak PE of +-3 arc sec for this mount using pempo (that is without PEC enabled).

Comes with Gemini Goto System with Level 4 eproms.

Has twice the imaging payload of a G-11 for only a little more money.
