[Ralf (Ralf)]

I am putting this up for sale because I am moving to a retirement village and there is no room to take it with me. Approx 30 years old - home made (not by me). Mirror last realuminised in 2007 and is still in fair condition. Excellent planetary scope - have got some great images using a webcam since early 2000.
About 13 years ago I upgraded the drives to 12 inch worm drives (RA and Dec) from England with a goto system added. Unfortunately this was not entirely successful as the drives bind occasionally and due to my lack of mechanical ability,I have been unable to fix it. It does track reasonably for planetary photography however.
I also upgraded the focuser to an electric JMI model.
Included is the 4 x 4 m ROR observatory and a sturdy ladder.
Price $3,000 negotiable.
Having recently retired, I can assist with the disassembly of the telescope and observatory. Located in Tenterfield NSW.
