Listing much of my astro gear over next few weeks,reason it never gets used,and moving on from astro,and likely to turn observatory into office.
I have a Vixen ED 81 scope,made in Japan,very little use,extremely high quality-same page as Taks,I bought new,so I am the only owner,along with Vixen GP mount-all made in Japan-amazing tracking,comes with DD1 controller,also included a Kendrick dew zapper controller and heaters,along with a good Vixen tripod,I am the only owner of all kit,all boxed in orginal boxes.I'll throw in an eye piece as well-celestron 25 mm
$1575 the lot,buyer to pay freight,or if in S.E QLD can arrange meet,or pick up from my location.Please note this is all Jap made (except the eye piece),and not regular made in China stuff,so if your looking for a bargin,this is not for you.
I'll post images,if any interest-looking at the adds-everyone must be getting out of astronomy!
Ok folks,thanks for all the PM's of interest,I'll post some images soon,and specs (I really did not expect a likely sale of gear anytime soon-if my PM box is full when you send message,please email).
The Vixen mount is one of the smaller mounts with a load capacity of about 8 kg,I get a good 2 or 3 minutes unguided tracking,I'll post some images from mount and scope.
IMAGES ADDED,the mount does have original 5 Kg weight not in image,that one is a small tak one.The canon mount ring at back does not come with package,there is no sighter scope.
All original packing and boxing,personally I'd rather have buyer pick up,or try and meet somewhere in S.E QLD,but would package and send,at buyers expense,I will not do a transaction if the buyer does not pay insurance.
There has been a lot of interest in this package so far,now with images-I imagine PM box will go into melt down,so please be patient.
This kit has been used to take many images,some of which went on to be published in many magazines,even won a Sir David Malin award using some of this kit.
