RC8, EQ6 non-goto

Hi all,

I'm getting out of imaging for the time being and heading back to visual astronomy so selling a lot of my gear. Its going to take me a week or so to get organised and upload pics etc but I thought I'd get the ball rolling.

1. To start with I'm offering my RC8 carbon fibre OTA with stock focuser and 40mm extension tube. Very good condition, one of the earlier models with just one vixen style dovetail. Takes good images (see the one attached, this was my first and only image so I'm not skilled). Now includes feathertouch focuser adapter worth US$79, 80mm 2" Extension and 50mm finderscope. The 40mm extension has a score line running around the centre, this was performed by the previous owner and has no impact on the performance. Photos show scope, accessories and image of M20 taken with this scope Asking $650 SOLD

2. Also my EQ6 ORIGINAL model. Non-Goto but still a capable mount, can easily be modified to accept an autoguider port for imaging. Works perfect, but well used (will post pics when I can). Asking $400 SOLD

PM me with enquiries, I'd certainly prefer local pickup.

EDIT: Now updated with new accessories, details and photos.

Cheers,

Dave.

UPDATE: Sorry for any confusion, the EQ6 I am selling is the original type and not the syntrek. I didn't realise, I thought all non-goto models were called syntrek.

This one is the older type, it cannot be connected to a computer.

Sorry for any confusion.

Dave.

Thanks everyone for your patience. I received over 30 PMs yesterday.

The mount is being inspected this arvo, will update whenever things sell.

I have 2 interested parties in the RC8.

Dave.
