WTS - Celestron Evolution mount with C8 XLT SCT [ Sold]
Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2022 2:30 pm
Hi astronomers...
I had some great time with the celestron evolution mount with C8 XLT SCT.. I actually bought them separately. The celestron evolution 6 came with C6 SCT.. but I wanted more aperture and replaced the C6 with a C8.
the result is a very stable goto alt az viewing platform. It is still light and I can hand carry it from my living room to patio which is my observation site. I had benefit of great planetary views from patio - mercury, venus, saturn, Jupiter and not to mention the excellent lunar views.
I am now looking to change the setup - basically upgrade the C8 to something with more aperture and get a dual mount (probably az eq5 or az eq6). there this beloved setup has to go before I can get the next purchase
the mount is perfect with the latest firmware and hand controller firmware. I hardly ever use the hand controller as the built in wifie and skypoartal software is a killer combination - from doing star alignments to perfect gotos, I never needed the hand controller.
Looking for around SGD1600 for the combo. Please PM me at nine4five6 seven4one4.. please feel free to drop me a whatsapp to arrange a viewing before you make a decision.
cheers
Andy
