Description

This is a used Orion Atlas EQ mount. It is in great mechanical condition, though the altitude bolt has been replaced, and the altitude indicator dials are absent.

This is a great opportunity to grab a mount for a medium sized visual or astrophotography setup. It includes the mount head, counterweights, tripod, hand controller, DC power cable, and serial to RS232 cable.
