Astro Equipment Cull - SW EQ6-R PRO mount, Bresser Messier MC-127 / 1900 Maksutov Cassegrain, a few eyepieces, WO Binoviewer & ZWO ASI178mc

[+Glafnazur]

Since my wife passed away in September I have lost my spark for most things, astronomy being one of them, also due to health issues (trapped nerve in neck and back) I’ve decided to thin down my astro equipment. The EQ6-R PRO is now way to heavy and having to set up every time I observe or try to image is too much. I also have too many scopes, eyepieces and other bits and bobs so it is time to cull them. My aim is to get back into fellwalking (hopefully the back won't be too much of a problem) and take my ZS61, a lightweight mount and DSLR out with me.  I also have a Sky-Watcher Esprit 100 ED PRO which I may reluctantly part with, need to think on that for now, and there may be some more stuff once I have had a good rummage.

 

Also advertised on SGL, I'll give members here a discounted price - £800 for EQ6-R Pro and 10% off everything else.

 

I will post pictures over the weekend.

 

SW EQ6-R PROS mount, tripod, handset and counterweights bought from FLO 3 or 4 years ago, in good condition and works just fine. It has a  few scratches and marks as you would expect from usage. It has the handset, I’ll also throw in Oklop padded bags for both mount and tripod (bought May last), a Sky-Watcher SynScan WiFi Adapter, Lynx Astro Silicone Power Cable for Sky-Watcher and  1.8 & 3.4kg counterweights. 

This all comes to around £1733 new; I am asking £850. Bank transfer and collection only from Derby

Bresser Messier MC-127 / 1900 Maksutov Cassegrain OTA. I bought this second-hand for lunar and planetary and it is a lovely scope but I hardly ever use it and I really don’t like focuser knobs!! I’d prefer collection but this could be posted as I have the boxes. £175 plus p&p

I understand your need to thin down your astrogear Dave, but I hope you won’t be thinning down your posts to the forum.

No, I don't think I'll be doing that. You guys help keep me sane 🤪🤪🤪
