Avalon M-Zero HQ WiFi Alt Az/Eq Mount

For Sale , Avalon M-Zero HQ WiFi Alt Az /EQ Mount.
Reason for sale. I will be moving to a bigger scope/planning now to build an observatory.

If you know, you know. Avalon mounts are the Ferarri of the astro world. They look beautiful, have superb engineering, elastomer-belt-drives, rock solid guiding, zero backlash, zero maintenance...and all of this with the trademark Avalon * no meridian flip *! It can be configure for ALT AZ visual use as well.

The mount weighs only 7.5kg.

Sasha has a great review here:

Sale includes:
* M-Zero HQ Mount
* Stargo WiFi Controller + handset
* Counterweight+bar (a measly 0.5kg - and not even needed if you get balance right).
* TPod 90 Tripod
* Vixen saddle on main dec arm
* Stargo clamp (allows you to mount the Stargo unit on the dual-dec arm much like an m-uno)
* Avalon X-Guider installed on dual-dec - allows you to mount another OTA to use as an active counterweight (alone this is $549). Run 2 imaging trains simultaneously.
* Avalon soft bags for both tripod and mount

* Avalon M-Zero Counter Weight 145 mm Extension Shaft.
* Avalon 20mm Extension spacer which enables longer refractors to clear the mount.

Purchased new from Testar Christmas 2021 so has balance of manufacturers warranty.

(More information available on application) The mount guides flawlessly the one time I had it out @ 0.5" - 0.6" total RMS and is known to have frequent excellent nights in the 0.3"-0.4" range.
I bought in September 2023 from the original owner.
