I am selling a QHY OAG-M (Off axis guider - Medium format)
This is in great order. I have used it with two different ZWO cameras (My old ASI294MC Pro and my current AS2600MC Pro) and it performs very well, I bought it as I wanted a more rigid solution than my original Orion thin OAG. They come with M42 and M54 plates for threaded connections, or they can attach direct to many QHY cameras.
I am selling it as it is tricky to set up just right on the 2600MC to maintain the same back spacing as my ZWO mono camera/Filter wheel/OAG combo. I am putting a ZWO filter wheel and OAG on the OSC to maintain the same spacing between the two cameras to ease swapping them between scopes.
These are currently $370 new in Aus. I al looking for $270 posted anywhere in Aus and with the moon up I am happy to remove it right now, I won't be doing any OSC imaging for a few weeks anyway and should have my new setup this week.
Edit: I had completely forgotten until I took it apart today that I had one of the M42 threaded end plated rethreaded to M48 and re anodised. I have a ZWO zero bacfocus M48 male to M42 female adapter ring that can go with it, also a 1mm thick M54 male to M48 female adapter ring. I will not need either of those with this not in my image train any more. I changed my description from perfect order to great due to that modification and as I found a couple of very small marks on it when removing threaded fittings today.

Photos attached of everything to go with it, and the couple of blemishes I found.
Blemishes wise there is a small scratch on the M42 face between the two mount screws opposite the camera housing, and in the second photo, a couple of marks on the top of the M48 modified plate and the base of the camera housing, the rest is dust.
