WTS: VIXEN GP MOUNT (Sale Pending)

Post by ariefm71 »

Hi Guys,

I recently purchased this Vixen GP mount from Astromart: http://www.astromart.com/classifieds/de ... _id=341135 , the mount will arrive next week.

However, I have recently got some extra fund from my finance minister to get the GP-DX instead. So, I'm thinking to sell this mount after I test it for about one month to make sure everything works perfectly, will try to use it to take some widefield dso images using my 80mm apo as well.

I'll be selling the following in June:
1. Vixen Great Polaris mount head with clutch on RA drive and Vixen 12" flex hand controller on Dec drive, counterweight shaft, one Vixen 4.1 lb counterweight, setting circles, polar scope, and illuminator. All in excellent condition and with original boxes. Price = S$850 only
2. Like New Vixen MT-1 motor and Vixen SD-1 controller with battery pack. Price = S$250 (will sell after mount is sold)
3. Vixen HAL150 tripod with accessory tray is not for sale. You should be able to get the tripod from McGill or consider buying my full pier.

Feel free to join my obs session in May to try out the mount.

cheers,
Arief

Hi,
The GPDX is double the weight of GP, so what you need next is a car... :P

Have a nice day.

Hi,
ah? so u mean u only sell this after you sell the mount head?
Just a reminder, this is a vixen motor drive and controller for Vixen GP or clone mount, so it can't be use on a EQ3-2 or CG4 mount which come with your C6N.

Have a nice day.

the motor and controller is compatible only with Vixen GP/GPDX/SP/SPDX mount only, not compatible with the clones.
