2) Vixen SPHINXPRO (SXP) equatorial mount 16kg max payload, with the Starbook 10 visual controller. It is setup for both observatory and field use with compact travel packing. This model is currently being produced and sold new for around $5,500 and up.

This Starbook Controller is the easiest to use that I have found. I could never master a 4 button control but the Starbook was mastered first time, being intuitive and simple. Comes with Vixen portable tripod, half pillar mount for the observatory, 240V to 12V power supply, dovetails, custom level and compass for remote setup and alignment.
New cost around $6500 Asking $3,000

3) Sirius Observatory 2.3M Manual Model. Plus mount pillar orginally used for 60kg telescope setup. We can provide limited help to dismantle and a tractor to help lift the dome off, the rest just unbolts into panels.

Price $5,000

-------------------------------

Living away from population centres in the Monaro area, I have to sell package units and leave buyers to onsell items that are not required.

Selling all together or combining the Sphinx with the scope or the observatory gives reductions and 2 resellable items with the new value around $1000
