NEQ6 with a couple of extras

Hi all,
time to sell my beloved Skywatcher NEQ6 mount. It has served me very well in my observatory at Leyburn, but it has to make way for a G11. I guess its about 3 years old, and hasn't missed a beat since I've been using it.

I have included a pic of M20 taken with using my 150mmF6 MN61. Guiding was for 40 minutes with a separate guidescope and SS Autoguider.

So, this is a standard NEQ6 which includes:
1. Tripod with 2 Skywatcher counterweights,
2. 2 extra counterweights,
3. Counterweight extension bar,
4. pier adaptor which has been modified by cutting it in half. (square steel plate as shown in pic not included.)
5. it has both the wide dovetail mounting plate, and Vixen-style narrow dovetail mounting plate

Sell for $1200.
Happy to drop-off for you in the SE Qld area, or northern NSW. Otherwise, freight is extra.
