I have 4 too many Go To scopes and this EQ6 Pro and Vixen VC200L must go to make way for the latest 10”. The (now sold)EQ6 Pro: I got this from the original owner, another ICEINSPACER who purchased it in late 2008. It hadn’t much use when I got it and has only added about 5 nights in my care. It has spent its life inside and all looks pretty much as new and would indeed suit a new buyer. The Synscan is version 3.35 and the buttons are fully responsive. Despite good intentions I never got into astrophotography. The timber cart allows mount and scope to be moved around easily including over small obstacles.
The VC200L is in good condition, it’s hard to see the mirror in the photos, but I think its fine – certainly the same as when I got it about a year or 18 months ago. The vixen finder works perfectly, but the paint is marked by the adjusting screws as shown in the photograph. I’ve added an aluminium tube on the top of the tube to mount things on and to provide an excellent carrying handle. It is easily removed and the original hardware is all in a bag - along with the knob removed for the focuser (unbranded, but identical to the Skywatcher unit from memory).
EQ6 Pro with cords, books and trolley etc $1050 (sold)
Vixen VC200L OTA, elect focuser & 7x50 finder: $800
Focal reducer F6.4 for VC200L $150
Vixen flip mirror $80
Vixen 43mm T ring adapter & Nikon (fits vis back)$50
My preference is pickup from Kew, Melbourne given desirability of seeing it all for yourself.

Reason: Part Sold
Interested, just a question though. What would be needed to use this as a telescope for observations. Are the included connectors and reducers for DSLR mounting?
