I've had the idea of selling this setup I've owned for a few years now but still use it when I get time. I have 3 other scopes at home and this one is at a central texas remote site called Sofar. Would have to be a serious conversation to be sold but I have been having less time using it with work and probably would pause for 5-10 years. I decided against the L600 mount due to needing different angle bases relative to the degrees altitude and I can be moved around randomly. This setup can be moved anywhere with no changes except a new skymap modelled in the software. This is a very capable setup and will be priced as that but it would be ready to go quickly and has a very reasonable monthly lease at the facility of $300 monthly. Did an image capture with L filter and got the FWHM of 2.4- 3.277 px with .3/pixel scale set 2623mm at f4.3 currently.

10 micron Gm4000 HPS II with six 20kg counterweights and extra shaft extension
Custom 12" portable pier from ATS
Beelink mini pc with all software needed to run
SOFAR made custom pier for remote operations
ASI2600mm pro camera w/2" unmounted LRGBSHO filters, planewave reducer with all adapters (Also have a 6200mm with 50x50 square filter custom setup for the native focal length, for extra)

Stock shipping crates for both telescope and mount

Full price setup is set at $110,000 which is around $20,000 below retail and not having to wait for them to be built/shipped. Since I run off of Anydesk, I can possibly run through a session with potential buyyer when the time comes.
