iOptron SkyGuider Pro with William Optics Add-Ons - Ready to Go -- Nothing else to buy!

I'm selling this iOptron SkyGuider Pro (SGP) since I've recently gotten a more heavy duty mount for a larger telescope I have on order.  This has been used about a year, so there may be some minor blemishes on it.  If you'd like to see examples of how this performs, see my earlier photos on Astrobin (CingStars).  The mount is a fantastic startracker and is great for DSLRs or small telescopes.

I'm including EVERYTHING you need to get started right away without buying any additional equipment!  You're getting:

• iOptron Skyguider Pro with an 11-Pound Payload Capacity (perfect for DSLR or small telescope)
• Soft Case and USB charging cable
• All original SGP parts including both DEC brackets and original iOptron base mount
• Long-life Internal Rechargeable LiPo Battery (one charge lasts about 20 hrs!)

Excerpt from Agena AstroProducts SkyGuider Pro (basic package) description:

The redesigned (black) SkyGuider Pro mount head is more compact, small enough to fit on your palm, better precision, silent tracking, built-in rechargeable power source, ST-4 guiding port and camera trigger port. The improved precision polar scope maintains a fine engraved reticule, now features adjustable illumination with different pightness levels. 

The SkyGuider Pro features four tracking rates, 1X or sidereal, 1/2X for sky and landscape combined, solar and lunar. All 4 tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres. We have also added a quick slew mode with both forward and reverse to help quickly reframing your image without disrupting the cameras position.

We have made big improvements on the SkyGuider Pro’s removable alt-azimuth base, which features a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude and a built in post for the azimuth control. You can also mount the SkyGuider Pro head (without the base) directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1/4” or 3/8” threads. 

The SkyGuider Pro is certainly a must have tool for any photographer interested in astroscape or wide field astrophotography.
