***UPDATED POSTING***
For sale:
> Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro mount & tripod (w/ SynScan hand controller) (P/N S303300)
> Sky-Watcher WiFi module (P/N S30103)
> Sky-Watcher SynScan GPS module (P/N S30104)
> Sky-Watcher AC/DC power adapter (P/N S30105)
> Celestron "StarSense AutoAlign for Sky-Watcher Mount" (P/N 94006)
> Apertura Ultimate EQ6-R mount case kit (P/N APT-EQ6RCASE-KIT)
The total price for these items, as offered at the Sky-Watcher website, the Celestron website, and/or the High Point Scientific website, is about $3,050.
I'm offering this bundle for $2,200. Payment via Venmo or Zelle only.
Pick-up only, within a 45-mile radius of Monterey, CA (e.g., Santa Cruz or Gilroy)

This is an amazing set-up. With both the hand controller and the WiFi module, you have flexibility in how you want to control the mount.
Pointing accuracy and stability are well documented in on-line reviews. I will leave it to you to search on-line for yourself.
I have had this equipment for less than two years. All of it is in excellent condition. (OK, so the mount foam insert is a bit distorted by the weight of the mount.) The mount has been used probably fewer than ten times in total. I am selling it because the mount head, at 38lbs, is heavier than I should be lifting at my age.

P.S.: This is an updated posting. In my original posting (since deleted), I did not include a six-month-old Celestron "StarSense AutoAlign for Sky-Watcher Mount" accessory (Celestron P/N 94006) in my original posting because I was hoping to use in on my replacement mount. But I just found out that this accessory does not work with the mount I am considering.
In my opinion, the StarSense AutoAlign is worth every penny. It is amazing. Turn the system on, press one or two buttons, wait about two minutes, and the mount is accurately aligned to the night sky. I have found it to be essential for public star parties, where guests do not want to wait around while I perform an accurate polar alignment and then a three-star alignment of the mount.
Sorry for any confusion caused by this updated posting.
