A mistake from a old novice. The Vixen was bought as a transportable astrograph for use with my SBIG11000M camera, but could not be balanced without overloading the mount. The extras with it are for camera focussing and more secure camera alignment. The smaller camera system bought afterwards was fine, but field of view was much smaller than the 11000M, which didn’t suit me. The Vixen is pretty pristine and not much used. Calibration possibly needs some tweaking, but this is beyond me. The cameras are virtually new, they have only been trialled.
My last check on prices was around $7000 new, I would be happy with $3000, otherwise it could be best offer. The scope and cameras could be separated if necessary. Pic available as jpg but can't find how to attach it.
