Vixen GP mount with Sky Sensor 2000PC all working great. Condition is “Used”.
This is a reluctant sale as I’ve owned this mount and sky sensor 2000pc from new for many years and am a bit attached to it. Works like a dream. In great condition – the only tatty part is the counter weight rod which has lost its chrome plating in places, only cosmetic though.
This is a class act, great tracking, great functionality with the handset, solid tripod. Included is the tripod, the mount and it’s motors along with the handset itself. Also included is the serial cable which will allow you to hook it up for computer control. (I use a mac running sky safari pro 6) – you’ll need a usb to db9 cable though. I understand there are ASCOM drivers for this mount if you’re using a windows machine. Also there is INDI support via Linux. The mount has an integrated polar aligning scope and the illuminator is included and works fine. I’ve replaced the internal battery in the inset, so will be good for years….All the bits you would need to revert the mount back to manual control are included also, even got the original ss2k box! I will include a car cigarette lighter style power cable also.
PLEASE NOTE: the telescope is not included in this sale.
I have uploaded a couple of short movie clips to youtube showing the mount slewing around by using the handset in one and sky safari in the other.

I am advertising this elsewhere, so may end this auction early if it sells.
If you win, we can work out the best way to get this to you, as it’s heavy…..the postage on this listing is a wild guess.
