Vixen Polaris

Up for sale a Vixen Polaris EQ / ALT AZ mount in excellent shape.

The mount tracks very well with the Celeston Logic Drive which can run for 40 hours of a 9v battery and I have included a AA battery pack which will run it for ages capable of good deep sky photography with camera lenses.

I've also fitted a Vixen dovetail base to make it easy to inter change scopes.
Great mount for Astro and Terrestrial use .

$350 plus post

PM if interested
Thanks
Zane

David this is the work around I did to mount the motor , works fine but you may want to tap another bolt hole for a tidier look , also note large the triangular knob to make adjusting to the correct tracking rate much easier
