Hi Guys, for reasons that I do not really want to discuss here, I am changing my direction in life and will be offering my complete imaging set-up for sale.
I am moving away from Astronomy, I have been doing this for so long I want a change, and Alice and I want a change, maybe one day I will be back.
I will leave my IIS account open and spy on you guys from time to time, you have all been wonderful friends, and I have learnt so much, and for that I thank you sincerely
OK…….. We are talking of a complete Takahashi set-up,
this would suit the person who can have it all in one hit.
Yep I agree it is not cheap, but quality costs.
You would be getting a set-up of total Takahashi, and the Losmandy G11 mount with level 4 GO-TO. Plus all the extra bits, and a Modified Canon Full Frame DSLR.
If you dig the hole today, you can be imaging tomorrow

Now the sweeter.,
and it is free with this sale, I will deliver, to your door, and dig the hole if you like.
This is optional but I do have a 250KG Pier that needs to be planted, it has the 140mm Diameter head, which exactly fits the diameter of the base of the G11/G8 Mounts.
The Pier is made of 6mm thick steel, and is 150mm (6”) square tube filled with cement, it is well cured, as I made it 12 months ago, and It just needs some one to dig a hole.
I am prepared to deliver in a radius of 800 kilometers Free of charge, (All of VIC, and SA, NSW half way, not to QLD, NT,or WA.
I would prefer delivery this way as this equipment is not cheap, and we do not want to lose or damage some in transit, I will even help you dig the hole.
If it has to be shipped it will be packed well, but you will have to cover this cost, and I estimate at least
$200.00, I will drive it to your door for that, but that is your choice
I you purchase at the set price for cash you will receive a 5 % discount. Making the price
$12,350.00
I offer
Lay-By, and will be prepared for you to take a,
6-month, or 12 month contract divided into the total amount as a monthly payment
Tell me what you would like to do, make me offers, whatever, lets talk., but please,
no ridiculous offers.
I do not really want to split up, and would prefer a one-unit sale, but if it comes to that I will consider this later
I will run this sale for
4 weeks, and after that time I will consider sales of individual pieces.
Leon
PS, I forgot, you will also get my completed cooler box that I made, at a cost of $200.00, Free.
