Premium Astrophotography Setup UPDATE
Hi All,
OK there has been a lot of interest in my gear for sale but mainly as split up items. If I were to go this way I would like commitment from those of you who have contacted me, or others. I have broken down everything into individual prices to make it a bit easier and to see who will still be committed to buy.
I cannot believe that someone out there does not want the whole lot. What I did a few years ago to be able to purchase this gear, was to sell nearly all of my gear to get some money together (about $12k) and also setup a visa card with a large credit limit to make the purchases around $30k. After I bought everything (cost me $42K) I went to another bank and did a balance transfer at 1.99% for 12 months with them. In effect I was getting a cheap loan. I paid off as much as I could over the 12 months and then did another balance transfer to my original bank for the same 1.99% over 12 months etc. It took about 4 years to pay off the $30k debt. So at the end, I got what I wanted for about $600/mth. Yes its a commitment but it was affordable for me and thats how I ended up with this top of the line gear.
What I really prefer is for someone to say 'Yep I'll take it all', easier for me obviously and they end up with all the amazing gear thats ready to be installed in their observatory and up and running in no time. Complete packages like this dont come up often so here is your chance.
Anyway, here are the component values in $AUD.
10" RCOS with TCC controller, ext. tubes and hard case $10000
RCOS PIR and 70mm Field Flattener $3150
SBIG STL11000m + CS LRGB + Clear filter Set, PS and Case etc $6250
SBIG AOL adaptive Optics $1350
Astro Physics AP1200 mount, hand controller, weights etc $10000
Astro Physics 10" Portable Pier $850
Astro Physics Rot. Pier adapter (Permanent) and standard adapter $450
If you buy the lot you get the Computer free with all software purchased, probably worth around $1500. Each item sold will come with the standard accessories it came with. Shipping at buyers expense and let me know if you can pick-up, I am in Geelong Vic.
So if I get commitment for all these items then I will split, otherwise I will wait for someone who wants the lot. Lets say if you bought the lot but did not want the scope, then you could sell it separately. C'mon guys this is an amazing opportunity and I really want to sell.
Thanks to everyone and cheers.
Nick
