Celestron C9.25 SCT

Hi everyone,

First item for sale is my beloved Celestron C9.25 SCT with fastar OTA, taken off a celestron evolution 925. Included with the scope are:
- Losmandy style dovetail (wide CGE dovetail bar) a $125 addition
- JMI motofocus (celestron branded) which works very well, a $180 addition
- The Celestron F6.3 reducer/corrector a $200 addition (not pictured but I will add more pics later)
- Bobs knobs fitted on the secondary. Collimation is a breeze.....not that you need to collimate it often it keeps collimation really well!
- 2 inch GSO branded SCT visual back

All of the above yours for only $1500 I do not prefer to post my beloved scope since I don't have the original box. I got this item 2nd hand. I'm willing to deliver to Sydney and surrounds (no more than 100 kms) free of charge
(GSO di-electric diagonal is not included in the sale)

Second item is my trusty Skywatcher NEQ6 pro mount SOLD with the tripod. (https://skywatcheraustralia.com.au/p...-steel-tripod/) This is rated upto 20KG and performs flawlessly. It has been to bintel recently for a service (it really didn't need one but had been in storage for more than a year and I thought a re-greasing etc. would be good). No problems found by bintel.
Yours for $1100 SOLD I DO have the original boxes for this mount and am ok to post. But would prefer pickup OR I can drop off inside Sydney or under 100 kms from Sydney free of charge.
I will also throw in the Synscan USB adaptor free of charge

Third item is the guidescope that could the Skywatcher evoguide 50ED with ZWO ASI290mm mini guide camera. It's a 50mm aperture 250mm F5 little scope with ED glass!! But I don't have the field flattener for it and the field curvature is pretty bad so I don't use it for astrophotography.
I mostly use it for polar alignment (much overkill )
It's attached to the OTA with a Losmandy adaptor (Losmandy DVA Dovetail Plate Adapter) worth $80. i'll include it in the sale
$600 posted for this little package

Reason for selling is i'm in the market for a 10 inch goto dob to suite my future plans for this amazing hobby. I'm mostly a visual astronomer and dabble in a little EEA and i've found that travelling out of the city and out of the light pollution dome gives you incredible views. As you can imagine my current setup is not very portable. And if, like me, you have dimwitted neighbors who like to keep their very bright ornamental LED lights on all year around.......EVEN after you asked them politely and repeatedly to turn them off!! then it's no use having the best telescope in the world you're better off just browsing astrobin

Anyway thanks for looking

Adding pics and price correction for mount

Also included in the Celestron 9.25 SCT package is the Farpoint dew shield with cutouts for vixen and wide dovetail plate.

To sum up:

- Celestron C9.25 OTA with many extras (see below for details) $1500 would prefer pick up or I can drop off in Sydney

- Skywatcher NEQ6 pro mount is now $1100 plus postage. SOLD
I think it's a good price for what is a very solid and reliable mount.

- Skywatcher Evoguide 50ED guide scope and ZWO ASI290mm mini guide camera $600 posted. Includes losmandy adaptor plate

If anyone is interested in the complete setup it can be yours for $2100 IF you can pick it up or IF you're in sydney or under 100kms from Sydney I will drop off for no extra charge

Hi Wes,
Sorry for that!
I actually never got your messages. And by the time you contacted me on the phone someone had come and brought cash, for the amount I asked for no less......and you know deals tend to happen very quickly when someone brings cash
Cheers
