Sky-Watcher EQ8 PRO equatorial mount

Sky-Watcher EQ8 GoTo Equatorial Mount with 110-Pound Weight Capacity, all-metal internal construction, 435:1 worm drive on the RA and DEC axis, and SynScan computerized GoTo system. This version of the Sky-Watcher EQ8  equatorial mount comes with a tripod/ pier and a single counterweight. Full specs at the end of this narrative. Recommended for intermediate astronomers, especially those with an observatory, the EQ8 has a class-leading carrying capacity and neatly fills the gap between the venerable NEQ6 and much more expensive high-end mounts. I have listed this for local pickup in Port Townsend -  I am willing to ship it, but it will need to be packed, palletized, and shipped by truck - I imagine the weight will be ~200 lbs. That will take time and be added to the cost. Contact me if you want it shipped and I will research the time and cost. When taking delivery of this Sky-Watcher EQ8 PRO, you’ll need to help unloading the boxes because they are heavy. The mount head, hand controlle
