Meade LXD75 Mount /tripod excellent condition

Includes counterweight, and the famous extremely sturdy tripods, and has been lightly used nd does have signs of light use. So somewhat like new although it has been stored very well. There may be a few scratches on the metal or aluminium. I can send more pics.
This is the computerized goto mount with the handset, called Audiostar. There is a lof of information about these mounts online and on youtube. Youtube: Mancave astronomer, there is a multi-series of videos to teach everything about this mount and its capabilities, which are very impressive, I would say so long as your OTA is 25 Lbs or less. it is rated for 30Lbs. You will see on the internet some people have dialed in their LXd75 (which is the improved GEM of LXD55) and people have put heavier loads. but I think the sweet spot is telescope OTA's 23 Lbs or less.
  I encourage anyone who has, or is interested in this mount to access the digital book online which is a 251-page third-party book/instructional manual which discusses everything about this specific mount. This mount, the LXD75, after you go through the online material, you will begin to realize has amazing potential and if you decide to move to astrophotography, this is a great choice for the price range, actually this is proably the only choice anyone has right now to get into AP in this price range. The Goto computer has an attached polar alignment scope so that you can have a highly accurate polar alignment and enjoy very high accuracy in tracking as well. I do need to warn potential buyers, there is a learning curve to a mount like this, being a computerized [polar] german equatorial mount means that you will need to understand how to balance the scope in dec/ra axis, then do the polar alignment, then you can choose either an easy, or a two, or three star alignment.  The computer handset has a very broad range of objects and goto capabilities as well as a not half bad, rather entertaining voice narration of solar system and Messier objects, which is actually terrific when you have people newer to astronomy joining your session. Check out this online book specifically about the LXD75

I purchased the book online and I would be happy to transfer rights of the book or to print out the pages if this is possible. Check this great resource out for this tremendous mount:
