I advertised this recently then withdrew it as I once again planned to acquire some large binoculars. I’m in two minds though so I’ll see if someone wants it.
I finally unwrapped it all and I have to say it is absolutely beautiful looking. The Astrophysics tripod is more beautiful than the Berlebach Planet. The DM6 with Argo Navis offers the pure simplicity of push-to pointing. No electronic motors or external power required. I will also include the original info which is useful
$2900 posted which is what I paid about a month or so ago.
