Hi,
As in the subject, if you have an AstroSlew or other Alt-Az mount capable to holding a C8 w/ 2" accesories, PM me.
Thanks!

Nowadays the original Astroslew I is hard to come by second-hand as it is a 'keeper'. However, I understand that there is a new Astroslew III (one last piece left) still available!

Jeremy, I'm selling mine. But i just got pm by a buyer 2 days ago and only saw his pm when i logged in today so if he does not buy it real soon you can have it.

This is true because the mount body is cut from a 5 inch aluminium alloy cube and a lot of material is wasted, it is cost-intensive for both mass production and customization.

OT: Liu Meng, is it possible to cut two astroslew II L plate from a 6.5 x 6.5 x 5 inch block? Are you making any more?

I'm gonna mount my WO80 next to it when I hold my mini star parties in Spore for events like the recent Lunar Eclipse or Saturn beach picnic or volunteer at the Malaysian Nature Society.
Currently I gotta point 2 scopes at the same time and there's always people waiting in line to catch a glimpse of what the person in front is "oooh-ing" about.
They will also give different perspectives to how objects look like wide and "upclose"
When I'm alone I'll prob have just one scope on though.
