ZWO AM5 Strain wave Mount (Sale Pending)
This is an excellent mount for astrophotography. It is light compared to most other mounts yet is able to handle quite heavy loads. The mount is in excellent condition and has probably been used less than a dozen times. I'm selling this mount because I need a mount that can be easily used for both visual and imaging.
NOTE: The power supply in the images is NOT included. You will need to supply your own.
