[riklaunim]

[Euan]

That thing that looks like an AP mount?

[NickH]

yup

I can see this being somewhat popular :-)

Love getting exclusives...:-)...though have known about this for a wee while ;-)

[Euan]

Damn you Skywatcher!!!

Now I need a bigger obs

Anyone want an EQ6?

[NickH]

Second hand EQ6 market will be like the second hand Atik314L market soon...i.e. bouyant as everyone upgrades!

[lukebl]

Anyone want an EQ6?

Actually, yes. You selling?

[Euan]

Any prices on that bad boy?

[Deneb]

Looks like i'll have to upgrade again...

Nadeem.

[NickH]

Prices I leave to dealers...spec...hubba hubba!

[Euan]

I've used this before but it's never been more appropriate

[riklaunim]

And I have a scope that they can sell with the mount:

[John]

I wonder if thats the long awaited ED150 mounted on it ?.

[NickH]

;-)

Loads of goodies on the way...

[Euan]

Whoa

[Takahashi]

And I have a scope that they can sell with the mount:

HEY! Who said you could photograph my finder?

[NickH]

You aint seen nothing yet!

[Deneb]

I wonder how much weight it could handle ? Also wondering will it be cheaper then the Celestron CGEM Pro mount ???

Nadeem.

[russ]

Tripod looks a tad undersized for the mount But the frac looks awesome too.

Any sign of the 16" dob Nick?

[Takahashi]

Nadeem.

It would make a whole loada sense for someone to come along and fill the £1000 - £5000 mount gap.

[riklaunim]

iOptron iEQ45 looks similar. Everyone is cloning everything?

[George]

Makes the EQ6 look like a HEQ5

[NickH]

:-)

Much more to come...you saw it here first...literally!
