Hi,

I have items (2) and (3) for sale at $400/-.

[s](1) C8 OTA with Starbright coating. Comes with 6X30mm finder and 11/4 inch visual back only. No diagonal or eyepiece.[/s] [SOLD]
(2) EQ5 mount with counterweight and alumnium tripod.
(3) DK1 single axis RA drive with hand controller and manual clutch.

I need to sell this setup because i have bought a new 5 inch refractor with mount. No space at home to house two telescopes.

PM to me if you are interested.

hi Chong

perhaps you'd consider splitting it for someone who only wants to buy the OTA, or only the mount.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I would like to try selling as a complete set first. If there is no offer then i may consider splitting the set.

Thanks.

Hi Chong, I am interested in the OTA. Let me know your selling price. Is this a different C8 from what you sold in Sept last year? --> http://www.singastro.org/viewtopic.php?p=55947 Also, can elaborate a bit on the other 2/10 condition of the otherwise 8/10 condition? Can show some photos? Thanks.

The EQ-5 should be heavier/have greater capacity than a CG-5, but less than an EQ-6/Atlas.
