Sky-Watcher PROMAC 150 OTA Telescope on HEQ5 Pro Mount
Sky-Watcher PROMAK – 150 OTA
The Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrains are the ultimate take-anywhere telescopes. They are also ideal if working space is limited. Despite their small dimensions they pack a powerful punch. Their high-resolution, diffraction limited optical systems are multi-coated to maximise contrast and image sharpness.
This SkyWatcher Pro series Maksutov-Cassegrain has an objective lens diameter of 6" (150mm) and 1800mm focal length, f/12 focal ratio.
Placed on a Pro series mount, this tube will provide excellent views of the cosmos at the touch of a button.
HEQ5 Pro Mount
For amateur astronomers seeking superior equatorial control and the ease of a precision computerized telescope system, the EQ6 SkyScan is your answer. The Sky-Watcher EQ6 SkyScan is designed with the novice user in mind. With the user friendly pushbutton hand control, locating and viewing the treasures of the night sky becomes as easy as a walk in the park. The hand controller allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button. The user friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 13,400 objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The EQ6 SkyScan also comes with features that advanced astronomers can appreciate.
Positioning Accuracy up to 1 arc minute. Accuracy enhanced by software collimation error (mount mechanical error) compensation. Stepper motors with 1.8° step angle and 64 micro steps driven. Slewing speed up to 3.4°/sec (800X).
AutoGuider Interface for astro-photography. Guiding speed selectable from 0.25X, 0.50X, 0.75X, or 1X. Object database containing complete M, NGC, and IC catalogues. Polarscope illuminator for easy use of the polarscope. Minimal vibration for steady long-exposure photography.

I think they had it listed on an ebay classified for about $1675 - they also told me they had all the original boxes etc for packing... I just bought something else but let them know I thought they might reach a more likely buying audience here on IIS...
I would be interested in the HQ5 Pro if you're willing to sell seperately what would you want for the mount??
Regards
Jim
