Hi,
I have a Vixen GP2 mount with hal 130 legs + orion Synscan system installed for sale. Goto works perfectly. includes counterweight and half pier. looking at 1.2k for everything.
for those who are always interested in "reason for selling" trying to fund upgrade to a GM8. interested parties. please contact me direct at 96300269.


regards
zongye.

so fast upgrade le.. =)

honestly, I don't see that a GM8 is a substantial upgrade over a GP2 except in payload. Losmandy mounts aren't completely trouble-free.

This guy "Available Astro Gears" has a used EM-10 with guide port for about $1600 SGD:

Granted it has no GoTo and is not upgradable, but right now there are no GM8's with GoTo available because the Gemini is in short supply, so if you buy a GM8 or G11 you have to get the digital drive version (no GoTo).

stuart, I believe that's the "Ovision" worm... which is a $500 upgrade. makes the Losmandy's that much less desirable. I understand as the GM8 has 1/2 the # of teeth compared to the G11, the improvement from the Ovision worm is only 1/2 as much.

The EM-200 is great! I'd be happy to have one, but too rich for me. :-P

Sometimes you see NJP's in the $4K to $5K range (used). But those are quite rare.

There's a G-11 on A-Mart for $1200 USD right now!!!

Would you sell the synscan alone? I already have a Vixen GP, and i definitely have no money to afford a GP2.

conclude polar telescope or not?

have pictures?

nope nope! the version of GP2 does not have polar scope. and there is a photo of the setup I Was using 3 months ago you can see the mount in there
