Heya team,
Just a quick update so i missed out the the 6" dob sadly...
But scored an 8" dob with a few accessories for $650!!
https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Lis...?id=2809207916 I didn't grab the toolbox cover. Little bit over budget but thought with the accessories thought it was worth it. Cheers for the suggestion Mirko, i had a look at the expired listings.
Its this package
https://www.astronz.nz/shop/item.asp...e-package/244/ so i am stoked as i saved around $245 plus got a free eye piece cover.
Picked and up after an 2 hour drive. The scope is HUGE! But got home safely after a slow drive home lol being careful not too knock anything and have it hidden at mum's waiting for my Mrs birthday.
The scope came with:
9mm Plossl 1.25" eyepiece
30mm Superview 2" eyepiece
15mm SuperView 1.25"
2" 10:1 Crayford focuser with self-centering adaptor for 1.25" eyepieces
8x50 finder scope
Moon Filter
Turn Left At Orion book
Is there any other accessories i should be looking at? Might get me a cheap trolley to wheel it around. I can move it easy enough but not too sure about mrs.
Can't wait too use it in a month lol!
