Upgraded EQ6 Pro - Free Shipping Brissie, Gold Coast or Byron Bay area
It's with great sadness I have to let go this kick-ass workhorse of a mount that changed the game for me when I made the change to an equatorial mount.
Originally bought in 2008 and traded here on IIS to me, the original owner upgraded the counterweight bar and tuned it so well that my tests show merely +/- 3 arc seconds of PEC (see graph).
I'm still using it now and has been involved in an APOD (ISS Transit) of mine. It also features in a drift alignment tutorial I wrote for Photographing Space, which was reviewed by the PHD2 authors.
I'm only selling it because it probably won't handle the 11" RASA + camera equipment I need to put in the observatory.. so I've just bought the new Celestron CGX and will let you know how that goes. You can see my deep space work on my instagram, google+ or deography.com for proof of it's utility.
$1050 AUD includes :
- Original Mount head box with shaped styrofoam for transport
- Upgraded Counterweight Bar and original bar in original box
- SynScan Hand Controller
- 2 x counterweights (I need the 3rd one for my payload!)
- Mount & Tripod
- USB Direct cable for bypassing the hand controller & EDMOD
Does not include : Aftermarket 12v Power Supply (I don't know why astro vendors don't sell their products with power supplies but until they do I need all mine!)
Free delivery to Brisbane, Gold Coast, and anywhere near Byron Bay
