[SOLD] Celestron C11 + Losmandy G-11 + SkyWalker2 goto

[vello]

Celestron C11 SCT OTA, including
- 9x50 finder-scope and bracket
- 1.25" star diagonal and 26mm Plossl eyepiece
- Losmandy dovetail bar
- original carry case & packaging
- home-made dew cap (closed-cell foam)

Losmandy G-11 mount, including
- upgraded Losmandy high-precision worm with very smooth PE
- semi-pier and sturdy tripod legs (never used)
- 1 x 21 lb counterweight
- small tub of Slick 50 grease (to lube worm and bearings)

SkyWalker2 GOTO drive system is an extremely robust stepper motor system by Astrometric Instruments (http://www.astrometric.com/). It includes
- hand paddle, cables and printed manual
- S-Box hardware for operation with the latest Maestro control software.

The latest firmware and software can be downloaded from the Web site. The drive system requires a laptop or computer (not supplied) for goto operations but, the hand paddle can operate the mount (slewing + multiple tracking rates) without a computer. It also requires a 12-volt battery or power supply (not supplied).

The equipment is in excellent condition (circa 2000). It has always been mounted on a permanent pier in an observatory. The tripod and semi-pier are unused.

Price: $6700

Pickup from Canberra is preferred but shipping can be arranged at buyer's expense. Preferred payment is direct deposit or cash on pickup.

any pictures? will you separate items ie mount etc? Does it have gemini on the G11?

[vello]

I prefer not to separate the items unless it proves necessary. The G-11 has a SkyWalker2 drive system instead of a Gemini. I don't have any pictures -- they are stock standard items.

Hi Vello

I'm interested in purchasing your Losmandy G-11 mount and SkyWalker2 GOTO drive system if you decide to sell separately?

Please advise.

kind regards

George C

[vello]

Thanks George. You are first in line for the mount/drive in case I split the items. I see you are located in Canberra too, so that's handy :-)

I have sold the G-11 + SkyWalker2 to George. He only lives about 10 mins from me and we plan to do some observing together once he sets it up. I'm very pleased to see it go to a good home!

The C-11 OTA is still for sale. I'm asking $2750.

[George C (George)]

Hi Vello,

Thankyou for the sale.

The G11 & Skywalker2 are in excellent condition.

Will keep in touch :-)

Regards

george
