Picked up a scope - 97' anyone know it's value?

Posted By Ron Kramer

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!?

What a perfect subject...

Posted By Ron Kramer

I've bought and sold here and now been searching for a 130mm.   (tak etc) 
I just spend LOTS OF TIME - hours?  searching and sending messages to scope Im' interested in... only to get responses 
and finally notice that the ads from from 2010 and 2009 and... 

WELL NEED I SAY MORE.  Is that to make it look like it's getting more business here than it really is?
I likely won't renew next year - not cleaning house is ridiculous. 

Going back to cloudy nights.
