    The 5″ f/5 has gone, but the 145mm f/6.3 refractor and EQ5 are available. The 6″ if a bit out of collimation and needs a bit of work. The EQ5 is manual only, no motors. It has counterweights for the 145mm. There is a 2″ diagonal and 2″ Superview 30mm eyepiece.

    The refactor in it’s current state, with diagonal and eyepiece is maybe $300, the mount $400. So $700 for both.

    The Carton mount goes with one of the 6″ f/10 refractors. I have not tried these yet. The carton mount has a very basic EQ1 drive on it, and counterweights and rings for the 6″ f/10.

    I might be able to bring it to the open night tomorrow.

    Hello, I’m interested in the Heavy duty Carton equatorial mount (blue) with (very) basic motor drive? could I maybe see some photos of it? cheers
