130mm Table Top dobbie

Hi all,

Selling a re-purposed Celestron 130mm Newtonian on a just finished table top dobbie mount.

Mount is made from 15mm marine grade plywood, and finished with marine grade varnish. Bearings are all made using Teflon and Ebony Star laminate on both axis. Azimuth pivot bolt is all stainless steel, including washers and Nyloc nut.

Scope holds its balance no matter what size 1.25" eyepiece you use, and without any type of friction mechanism. Truly balanced, and action is always the same quality. Fourth picture below shows it holding its position with the heaviest 1.25" eyepiece I have (this Vixen eyepiece is NOT included in sale), and other pics show it with the two of the included eyepieces.

Scope comes with stock 20mm Celestron Erecting eyepiece, also a 25mm Plossl, and an 8mm eyepiece. Also comes with a 20mm red dot finder and tube rings for this OTA should you want to couple it to another mount, you just require a short dovetail plate. OTA is easily removed from and replace back into the cradle.

OTA is in great condition, with the primary mirror's centre marked.

Asking $250 pick up, or freight additional.
