Heavy heart

[Wirral man]

Hi all I comes with a heavy heart but I'm deciding to quit astrophotography, today I will put a list together of all my equipment to sell so I will be offering a full complete imaging package as most of all my gear is new what is a rough selling price ie how much percentage is normally taken off being sold as used? Thanks in advance

Don't do it, the clocks go back Sunday, nights get longer !stick with it for a bit longer, try some easy targets, M42 33 and 45 will be up earlier.

If not then 50 to 65% ish of new as a guide or check ebay for sold listings as an idea.

Good luck with whichever way you go.

I know exactly what your feeling....i am a beginner in AP,and the amounts of nights of frustration i have had,and still have is unreal.I have thought the same as you and sell what i have,but i didnt and cant stop trying to get a decent image that i am happy with.

I know i cant get near the images that you see on the forum,at least not now,so i try and content my self with any images i get and try and slightly improve on the next time with the bare imaging equipment i have.

Unless you need the money for something else,i would hold on to your stuff and just go back to the basics of visual observing and know that you have the gear if you want to try again,

No I'm definitely selling up as starting something else so listing will be on soon and will be 65% plus as mostly new 6months old with boxing

Giving up after less than a year?

I am still getting to grips with all this stuff after four years....

....and I'm a professional systems engineer. It's not easy, but I guess that's part of the fun!

I would sell it all except your mount ed80 and keep a basic imaging setup with dslr. Be sorry to see you go. 

Kind regards

Well, it isn't compulsory. Your pricing seems right to me.
