I want it
This is exactly what I need.
Problem is that the seller wants cash at delivery and only ships to Germany.
The seller lives in Frankfurt and perhaps one of the AKM members lives in Frankfurt also? I am going to bid euro 110 for the mount, I think.
If someone could buy the mount for me, and send it to Terschelling, I can pay him or her an extra euro 25 or so for the handling. The postage for sending it will be paid by me also of course.
If so, I can send the money fast by mail or so.
Anyone has any suggestions, I want this mount badly!!!

Re: I want it
Hi Jan,
> Anyone has any suggestions, I want this mount badly!!!
I would contact the seller and describe your problem, and maybe he will agree to some other arrangement. When I bought my Sigma 28/1.8 at the German ebay, I noticed that according to the text, shipping was only within Germany, too (which was fine with me because I wanted to pick it up in Germany anyway). But when the seller contacted me, he expected that he would have to send it to Norway since he had seen that I don't live in Germany, and he obviously wouldn't have had a problem with that. As for payment, there are several options which would be safe for the seller. I transferred the money to the seller's bank account before he sent the lens. Another option would be to pay when you pick it up at the post office (that's how I payed for my newest lens). At least that works here in Norway, not sure how this works in other countries and between countries. It's an extra service of the post which costs some money, but it's safe for both sides.
Good luck!
Katja

Thanks for the advice, I've contacted the seller already.
I hope it works out, it could be great for catching the Gegenschein !

Hi Jan,
last week I made a photogaph with my 1:2,8/24mm from Cancer and Leo (15min) on Provia 400. I hope the Gegenschein is visible on it too.

Hi Jan!
I live in Frankfurt/Main, so I could handle this.
I've no eBay-Account, and at the moment I've not enough time for registration, because in a few minutes I'll leave the house. So I think best solution would be, that you bid and if the seller don't want do send the PURUS to NL, I would pay it in cash and send it to you.
Greetings,
Peter

That would be a great solution. The bidding is going fast now though so we'll see if the ptice isn't getting too high.

Re: I want it
Hi JanG,
I think that would be a long enough exposure. The only problem with the Gegenschein is that it is pretty large (20 - 30 degrees) and that wide angle lenses suffer from uneven field illumination near the coner.
I love to see your photo

classical error
Hi Jan!
You did the classical Ebay error, by starting to bid too early.
This only rises the price and you won't get the item anyway.
If you start to bid at 60sec before the auction ends and go about 50 Euro above the highest price, you might get it much cheaper.
Now, I think, it is way to expensive. 200 Euro is'nt really cheap anymore.
Better luck next time.
Regards
Ulrich

Re: classical error
Hi Ulrich!
I think you are right. This was my first time at e-bay.
Euro 200 is too much indeed, I've found a site with some comments on the clockwork. Basic critisism is that it is not so sturdy.

I have about two PURUS at home!
Hallo,
I bought a PURUS when there were only 3 left. Then someone gave me one as a gift because of my photo donation action and because he was not satisfied about it. The second one is not really complete. I will write tomorrow more of my experiences with it when I am at the University. You can make about 10 min exposures with 50mm so that the stars are dots. It is only for the northern hemisphere and it does not work when there is wind.

Re: I have about two PURUS at home!
Hallo Martin!
Perhaps you want to sell one to me?
I do not need the polar finder since I already have one, and the counter weight etcetera I also don't need. A tripod I als have.

I will think about it...
Hallo Jan,
I will think about it. I would give you it perhaps but I have only one key for turning the clock. What price would be ok? 150Euro + Package? But perhaps I will keep both because I am interested in solar energy and whith it you can keep solar cells always in sun for a day.
I will think about it next week. Try perhaps to buy one in www.astronomie.de in "Gebrauchtmarkt Suche".
Perhaps you have astronomical devices to make an exchange? Have you got Objectives for Minolta MF, M42 or T2 for Astronomy? E.G. 35mm, f/1,7 or 50mm, f/1,2 or 300mm, f/4-5 or something else? Concerning the price differences we can negotiate.
More tomorrow,
Martin
P.S. Did you already see my Homepage?

Re: I will think about it...
Hallo Martin!
If you consider selling one, I would be very interested. A price of Euro 150 plus packing seems reasonable. Unfortunately I don't have any Minolta lenses or other astronomical equipment to trade.
Please can you give some details on why the clock doesn't work with wind, is it not so strong?
I've seen your homepage a few times already; very interesting to see how you write about what you believe in. Seeing a starry sky makes me always feel very much alive on earth, it is a strong emotion.

Wind and Purus
Hallo Jan,
to use the purus you have to consider some points: The Camera and counterweights have to be balanced quite good. Then you must put your camera on it with a screw and lead it in the right position. In this case it is a disadvantage that you can not turn the camera simply so you have always a certain view on a constellation. E.g. the big dipper is not to photograph with 50mm-lenses because the view of the Camera is veritcal and not horizontal to it. You have to make your own construction. When you want to make an exposure you have to hold 1-2min a black paper or something similar before the objective because the Purus is not rigid. It is not easy to photograph with it and since I have my Vixen SP I did no more use it. It is only senseful on a jurney where you need light weights. I tried to photograph with an 500mm-Objective but even in a 1min-exposure the stars are no exact dots any more.
I don't want to sell you something what is not the best for you, especially when some parts are missing!
Best wishes,
Martin

Re: Wind and Purus
Hi Martin!
I've been giving it some thoughts.
I see where the wind and other problems come from. The mounting isn't very stable. What I am basically interested in is the fact that it is a clock that turns once every day. I've already got a self made construction that is a sort of mix between a scotch mount and a true equatorial mount. This thing is stable, attaches to my photo tripod and has a platform with a ball head on top for the camera.
I think I want to use the Fluxus just for turning this mount.
In this scenario the Fuxus is reduced to just a clock and I don't need the old counterweight or camera attachement. Also then the Fuxus isn't atached to a tripod. I think this will eliminate all vibration.
So I am still interested in buying one of your clocks. You can keep the counterweight etcetera and if you have only one key, I think I can manage to have an extra made, if you measure the dimensions carefully.
Since I plan to photograph this spring on remote locations, where even landrovers often cannot come, I could certainly use this guiding system.

You will get it!
Hi Jan,
if it is so, you will get it. Give me your adress please. If you don't like it you can send it back to me for 2 months. Is this ok? The price will be 150 Euro + Stamps. Have you an idea how to send it very cheaply or what this costs normally? If not I will look by myself (no problem). I will send it not before next weekend.
Can you give me your mail adress? I don't want always to "disturb" this forum
)).
Do you have an own Homepage?
The key is very long with a whole with 6 or 8 edges. If you want I can send you my own, you make a copy and you send the mine back!
Bye,
Martin

Great!
Hi Martin,
Great news.
My e-mail adress is etimelaps@angelfire.com
my homepage is http://www.angelfire.com/movies/timelapse
I think the postage will be 15 euro at most. Counterweight and bar are not needed by me. I think the best will be to send it to Terschelling, I'll be there in about three weeks from now, just a few days before that enourmous auroral storm will start
How shall I send you the money? Perhaps cash in a envelope with registerred mail is easiest. Please don't send the clock before you received the money. If you mail me your postal address, I'll send you the money this week. Perhaps you can find out how much postage will be.
I think it will be great if you send the key also, I can have a duplicate made than. But I think a clock reparation shop has those keys also.
I don't think it is necesary to have a "two months guarantee", it should run o.k. I think. I cannot see what would be wrong with the clockwork and if something is wrong, I think it would be worth repairing.
Greetings and thanks, Jan Lameer
