I am now splitting the gear. If there's any interest in a particular part, PM or comment your interest. Dropped prices, and listed them below.
Up for a regretful sale is my Astrophotography rig. I've had this for just over 2 years now, and its only been used maybe a dozen times, if that. All you need with this is a Laptop to run your image capture and PHD software, and a camera, and you're ready to take pictures like what i've posted below. Those are my images taken with this rig. using a Canon EOS 60D.
Located south of Brisbane, and I am happy to drive a couple hours to drop off or meet with someone to save postage
Reason for sale: I've been struggling with illness for a couple of years and I just don't have the energy to take this out and use it as it deserves to be used.

Gear is all in good nic, apart from a couple things. There's a few scratches on the 2 weights for the mount as they were in the bottom of the case i used to cart my gear. And there's quite a big scratch on the OTA due to being supplied the wrong bolts for mounting the guide scope. (I went to adjust the main scope in the rings to balance it for the first time and when i rotated it around to move it, the bolt had actually sat all the way through and scratched the paintwork) It is cosmetic only, and doesn't affect the scope any which way and i have included a picture of the scratch. The photo looks worse than in front of your face.
