Asking $1035 for mount alone (Andrews new $1799)
Or $1140 for mount, regulated power supply, power and serial cables
Courier is about $50-55 (Smart Send) to Australia east coast.
Mount includes standard accessories: Two 5kg counterweights, extension counterweight bar.
In very good condition. A few cosmetic blemishes, with paint chipped off on the mount head, at top of tripod where the mount joins, on the counter-weights, and a few small spots of rust on the tripod legs.
It's 3.5 years old, and I've owned it for 2.5 yrs (bought on IIS). I've kept it indoors and it's been lightly loaded, with about 10kg payload. I haven't had to open it up - it's just worked reliably. The only tweak I've done is to align to polarscope so that you can quickly polar align using the polarscope alone.
I've guided up to 1625mm focal length using PhD2 without any problems, it's rare for my imaging results to be affected by the mount's tracking performance. I used this mount for my
investigation into guiding accuracy using PhD2.
In original retail packaging, or pickup/inspection from Brisbane SW.
Selling because I'm having a break from astrophotography to pursue other interests, such as sleep !
I also have a regulated 12V mains power supply (Maplin's XM21X 5A) plus cigarette adapters (for $75), a matching mount DC power cable ($20) and mount serial cable ($20) (for direct computer control). Contact if interested - items not advertised separately yet. Postage of these extra items would only cost a few dollars more if combined with mount.
Postage/courier at buyer's expense:

#2 Weight is 9kg, and 55x55x23cm
