Actually it has been SG$980 for awhile...lol!

@shirox
If you wish to, you are welcome to take a look. No obligations.
Only reason why I wish to sell this whole package is because I have a set up which I am happy with and can see myself with for a long time. Hence, no point for me to keep this and try to make a huge profit. lol!
Do note that any EQ mount is always a weight to carry anywhere! I used to fit mount head, counterweight and controller/wires all into a roller luggage bag with the tripod bungee'd on. And scope in another sling bag. When you have something heavy it's always good to put it on wheels! My company bought lots of Pelican cases of various sizes for our equipment....MAN! They are nice and EX!! Biggest prob I find is the darn counterweight! That adds on pounds!!
Have not tried the All star EQ's but with the IOptron, the 2 or 3 star alignment is pretty good! The instructions don't say much but I can explain and let you know how it works!

Since it is hard to get Astro gears here in SG, and expensive, I only wish to offer tried and tested equipment, still in good condition, at something reasonable. Plus you get the guiding adapter which IOptron forgot about!

Lemme know via PM if your interested.

Hey Tim, thanks alot for the offer. As i still dun have a good idea of the differences in the mounts and goto, probably will join in for a few ob sessions and learn about the mounts before i commit with you haha.

I understand that vixen makes good quality stuffs and they are all made in japan.
