1997 Ultima I THINK but it's a Losmandy EQ mount. Appears to work fine, doesnt slew (as in slew speeds).
So it's a push to target then it tracks at up to 16x speed.

I have a Neq6 I typically use, but couldn't pass up this setup.

But Will it be of value to me over my NEQ6? how is the scope itself for astrophotography.

If I were to sell it what would be a good fair price to ask for it.

It came with lots of extras, some eye pieces (plossel) OAG and a huge solar filter (glass thousand oaks).
I figure the eye pieces all together might be worth 50 bucks total, the solar filter not sure? it's 11"

I could move the scope to my mount (as I use SGP and I'm all automated). Is it worth using? As I have a SV80mm and a ES127mm and a 8" RC

Here's photos. This forum only allows posting one photo!?
