Looking for a Goto mount

Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

You can set the slew limits for these mounts to avoid hitting the tripod, for thinner refractors, the slew can be set to 80 degress, for fatter reflectors can set to 70-75 degrees.

You can consider getting the Nexstar 4SE mount, someone is selling it soon. (recall the zenith issue)

Jeff, you know the person also. :)

Hi,

Yes, I am thinking of selling my Nexstar 4SE mount (with GOTO features). Any offer? I am considering buying a Sirus equatorial mount and that is why I am selling the 4SE mount. It is only a few months old and in very good condition.

Wow that was fast, you got the whole setup for like less than 2 months? Guess it wouldn't be difficult to sell this goto mount. Are you selling the ota separately too?

Hi Jeff,

Yes, sorry to let it go but need to fund an equatorial mount. Want to try astrophotography.

If there is any good offer, I may sell the ota also. Anybody interested please PM me.

BTW, how's your new scope?

I haven't use it much since getting it last week, i think I'll like it. No, I think i
better like it, its expensive to keep chasing your dream setup.
