This sale is urgent, as I desperately need to fund some major medical bills for my daughter.
I recently bought the Tak NJP mount off here. The original ad is here:
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...&highlight=NJP where you can see pictures of the EXACT mount.
I have additionally added a standard Takahashi clamshell adapter plate and have a spare counterweight rod. I have also obtained replacement cables as theses never eventuated with my purchase. The guider cable I got from Shoestring, so you can plug a standard ST4 cable into the Tak through the adapter, and the PC serial cable and power lead I got from Astro Developments in the UK. You WILL still need an RS232 to USB for modern computers (NOT included) - can be bought at Jaycar etc.
What is included:
NJP mount
NJP LARGE mahogany tripod
NJP Temma 2 controller with dual axis drives
Temma 2 hand controller (not needed if run through laptop)
Temma PC stand alone GOTO controller/computer (VERY scarce!)
Takahashi 12V/24V mains adapter (needs an international power point adapter since it has the 2 prong flat type) in a Pelican waterproof case
OptZCorp branded (BT Technologies manufacture) Losmandy D plate adapter
Takahashi original clamshell adapter
Spare NJP counterweight rod
NJP counterweight extension
4x NJP counterweights
2x NJP accessory trays
All of it is in superb condition.
The current leak issue is resolved - there was a screw touching a wire. I will still include the ground wire for good measure (see:
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...&highlight=NJP). Don't use the hand controller anyway
So, the crunch. Price. Due to circumstances and the desperate nature of this, I am open to any reasonable offer NEAR $4200 (I paid MORE with postage, and I bought extras coming in over $400 more).
$3800 ONO
Please help out here. I am getting close to selling the CCD too...
Not a good bloody week.
Yes, these track as good as legend has it - in fact, they don't have PPEC, because they for all intents and purposes do NOT have PE!!! 5 minutes unguided is child'splay for it - 10 to 15 is very achievable!
I scrimped and saved for this - my dream imaging platform - but family is FAR FAR FAR FAR more important!!!
