Sold: EQ5 with autoguiding, reflector, finder

[Jeff]

This is the original mount and scope setup which I used to test my interest in astrophotography and develop basic skills. I’ve discovered it’s great fun, and after several weeks of gentle persuasion I now have clearance from the Mrs to plunder a few $k into upgraded astrophotography mount/scope/CCD-camera.

Items for sale are as follows.

Skywatcher EQ5 Mount with stainless steel tripod, polar alignment scope, dual axis motor drives, power pack, and hand controller.
- hand controller includes a 6pin/ST4 interface for input from autoguider camera/webcam
- power supply & hand controller sit in a black metal carrier on the tripod
$390 plus postage

Also for sale is a GSO 6” reflector optical tube assembly (f/5, focal length 750mm).
$70 plus postage

Final item for sales is as GSO 8x50 correct image right angle finder with bracket.
$40 plus postage (Andrews Comms price is $69)

$480 for all items (plus postage at cost or local pickup).

Note that the Meade 70mm refractor guidescope shown in the photo has now been sold separately.

Please send me a PM if interested.

Cheers,
Jeff

If you crane your neck skywards, you'll find your answer.
