80mm Celestron EQ and extras

Hi all I'm selling all my gear to raise some funds for a new project

The whole lot is for going for only $600 NOW ONLY $450 check out the pics

The telescope OTA is a Celestron 80 mm X 900 which come off my NexStar 80 with red dot finder and two eye pieces a 10mm and a 25mm that came with the scope.

The mount is the GSO SkyView II Heavy duty mount from Andrews Communications, this mount alone cost me $699. It has Dual axis motors and a hand controller and has the same specs as the EQ5 type mounts and has two counter weights (see new pic below)

The extras are:
A: 1.25" flip mirror from the Telescope Warehouse
B: A 6mm CCTV Lens from Jaycar
C: A VIXEN 3748 C-mount extender 2.4X from My Astro Shop
D: A K series Mintron Advanced 20MIPS CCD camera color camera
E: A Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 DVD Creator Analog Video Capture Device
F: Bubble level and Compass for aligning the EQ mount.

As I said above the whole lot for $450, pickup (Ingleburn, NSW)

Its still for sale

I wouldnt mind some more info about the mount and scope..

does the scope take 1.25" and 2" eps ? or just 1.25?, do you know what the max weight handling of the mount is? I cant find any of this info on the net... I've tried.. Also, in the pics theres a hand controller, i assume this is for the mount, motor drive/drives?

Any other info you think is worth mentioning?
Thanks

I've had some people asking about the mount so I have updated the specs of the mount and included this pic with a 30cm ruler for the scale of the mount.
