12" GSO Dob

Selling due to not being used anymore. I have upgraded to an observatory situation with a permanent setup, and have other portable scopes. Want this to go to a good home. Unfortunately I did not use it as much as I hoped I would, but it is a good scope with what seems to be a good optical set. It is fitted with a home made anti dew system, which can be removed by the buyer or in advance by me if it is not wanted by the buyer. I am throwing that in for free. Just need a power source for the system, 12V. It is fitted with RCA connectors.

Comes with two eyepieces, 26mm and 10mm plossls, and a 2x barlow. Has finderscope fitted, and castors to the base of the dob mount. These can be removed easily. I have made a small modification to the base (azimuth) bearing so it moves more easily and with less friction.

Mount fitted with handles for setup and carrying and some extra angle brackets and timber reinforcement, for mount stability.

New, the cheapest is Andrews Comms at $1100. I will clean the optics in advance of delivery. Optics are in excellent condition.

Selling for $750.

Pick Up preferred, as is a quick sale. I can deliver to the Gold Coast area for free, to other areas, I will have to add on something for fuel further than 50kms. It wouldn't be much.

Can call on 0422435066 but text me first that it is about the telescope. Reply to thread if interested.

Cheers, MarshMan.
