[SOLD] Losmandy G8

[ChiefDreamer (Hun)]

Hi,

Losmandy G8, Digital drive.

I bought it from here a few years ago.
Took it to Bintel for maintenance services a couple years ago.
Professionally cleaned, tuned and re-greased by non-other but the best in Bintel.



And long came bush fire, Covid and life getting in the way.

I need to de-clutter, make room for more toilet paper.


So a reasonable offer over 1K is welcome, considering these are going for over $5K new if you can get one.

Prefer pickup from North Ryde.

Thanks for looking.

Edit: Please ignore my message. I had assumed that it came with the goto option.

If I understand correctly, you can track with the digital drive, but the slewing speed is quite slow, so that controlling the mount from a laptop using plate solving is not practical- is that correct?

One would upgrade with OnStep or similar system if you want to be a Goto or simply purchase Losmandy Gemini 2 as your upgrade
The bare metal essentially hasn't changed and built like a tank, the American way.
