Hi All,
Up for Sale is a complete Top of the Line Astrophotography Setup for someone who wants to upgrade to a better system. This equipment is ready to be installed in someones observatory and be ready to use straight away.
Once a T-Point model is made virtually every go-to ends with the object perfectly centered in the chip. The Scope is beautiful and has unbelievable optics and the mount is so accurate and smooth. A truly wonderful Setup. The Takahashi FSQ106 shown in the photos is not included.
Items included are:
10" f9 RCOS RC Scope - Astro Sittal mirrors, Paul Jones Optical Certificate,
Spacers - available upon request, Hard Travel Case, etc MINT
TCC Control box for Scope and Hand Controller MINT
RCOS PIR with 70mm Field Flattener (PIR a little faded on the surface)
SBIG STL11000M with CS LRGBC Filters, with standard accessories, power
supply and case (camera is a little faded on the surface)
SBIG AOL Adaptive Optics Unit MINT
AP1200 Astro Physics Mount with Hand Controller, counterweights, Software, power supply, etc MINT
2 different Astro Physics Pier adapters for the AP1200, one for permanent
setup, one for site use - travel MINT
10" Dia. Portable Pier with 3 turnbuckles (worth around $1000 USD or more)
MINT
Computer with all programs Sky6, CCDSoft, RCOS, FocusMax, CCDNavigator,
CCDAutopilot, etc etc installed to get up and running if you need one.
All associated cables, software, instructions etc also included.
Everything works perfectly I just have not used it for a while due to bad
weather and lack of enthusiasm lately.
Cost me all up around $40k AUD from the USA with Shipping and Insurance,
sell for $30k AUD a little negotiable maybe - prefer not to split.
Scope and Mount were 2 yrs old when I bought them about 3 years ago.
Camera is probably 3-4 yrs old, I bought it about a year ago and got it
serviced by SBIG.
All my equipment is permanently mounted in my observatory and covered up
when not in use.
I really dont want to sell but I am just not using it so better to go to
someone that will.
