CGEM with accessories

Purchased new in October 2016 from Highpoint, one owner.  This has been well used but is in good condition with all original parts. There are a few spots of rust on some of the hardware , particularly the screws, and some scratches on the top of the tripod and the saddle that I would consider usual wear and tear for the age. I tried to show all of these in the pictures.  My usual guiding performance was 0.6 to 0.8 arcseconds near the poles, and 1-2 arcseconds near the equator.  It has been factory serviced once less than a year ago, in which they cleaned and regreased the parts.

I am upgrading mounts to something that will track a bit more accurately for longer focal length.  That said, I have gotten great mileage out of this mount at shorter focal lengths, and I think it would be a good fit for someone looking to pick up a very capable inexpensive EQ mount for FL under 600 mm.  For visual this is an excellent mount that will hold up to 45 lbs and has great Goto, and the Celestron smart phone and CPWI pc apps are excellent.

Included extras:

- 11 and 22 lb. Counterweights - depending on shipping cost you might do better picking these up locally and I can discount a bit to remove these if you'd like
- ac power adapter (The original DC plug is also included)
- cgem polar alignment scope
- Wi-Fi dongle for use with smartphone app or pc

The hand controller has a USB plug for interface with a computer or ASI air.

I have original packaging and am willing to ship, though of course this is a heavy package and it will be expensive.
