ESPRIT +AZEQ6 +Guidescope +Power AP setup

I am selling my high-end astrophotography setup. This is a great way for someone to get started in AP or upgrade as I’ve curated all the things you need except for cameras, saving you the trouble.
Why am I selling? I bought this as a PhD graduation present for myself. I used it less than 10 times. But I’ve decided not to become an astrophotographer.

On this setup list are the following:
Tube:
Skywatcher Esprit 120ED 120x840 with all included accessories (no scratches on the optics)

Mount:
Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 Mount
Mount extension tube
SW mount case

Guidescope:
Guide scope 80 x 400 refractor with dovetail bar
Custom fitted guide scope mount
Extension tube
Hard case for guidescope

Power:
Switching power supply (AC to 12V)
Car battery (45AH Deep Cycle) & Arkpak powerpack box

Miscellaneous
Neodymium Filter
3-5m cables for direct computer connection
USB to serial adapter
Bhatinov mask (custom made)
Finger turn screws for extension tube (custom made)
Desiccant gel cap to keep tube dry (custom made)
3-shoe adapter for finderscopes/ASIair
Outdoor weatherproof boxes for extension cords and powerboards

This all retailed at over $9K when I curated it. Now it's even more.
I’m selling for $7.5K


Notes:
The tube has some light scratches - see photos.
The filter has some smudging but is not scratched.
After inspecting the setup in-person, I’m accepting payment via OSKO bank transfer/PayPal. No cash. OSKO is free. PayPal involves a merchant fee. Please check that your bank does OSKO.
I’m in Brisbane for pickup.
I won’t be posting this setup. Way too much to ship.
PM me.
