Lightbulb CG-5 Adv GT Mount, Tripod, 3xCounterweights & Polarscope

Bought this new from Oz Scopes about 7 months ago and have recently upgraded to an EQ6.

Have removed the lower plastic shielding off as advised by Celestron for people close enough to the equator so it doesn't hit the tripod at this latitude. (Northern NSW and up).

Comes with everything it came with (Instructions, Accessory tray etc) but also the Celestron Polar Scope which it doesn't come with normally. I don't have the original boxes.

Instruction Manual Here : http://www.telescopes.com/images/pdf/CELE054.pdf

Same as one listed here for $1.6k and I'm only asking $500 pickup preferred, PM if interested!
