Meade Lightbridge 16" Dobsonian

Meade 16" Lightbridge Dobsonian, 1829mm focal length, f/4.5
JMI Train 'n Track alt-az motor drive
Standard Crayford 10:1 focuser, 12V cooling fan
Series 4000 26mm QX 2" eyepiece
50mm finderscope
Light shroud (home-made)

Retails new for $2649, Train 'n Track is currently AU$675

Asking $1,800, pick-up in southern Sydney, could arrange transport within ~90mins of Sydney.

The big scope that can travel! I'm selling my much-loved Lightbridge, which has given me some fantastic views over the past five years. A big mirror at a dark site is a treat for hunting down the faint fuzzies, resolving globulars, or taking in spangly starfields of the Milky Way.

The truss tube design can be put together remarkably rapidly by one person. This is a scope that has had some great remote adventures, as you can fit it into a fairly small car!

The optics are in good condition - I have kept the mirrors clean and undamaged (last cleaned Oct '17, see picture), there's some minor cosmetic marks on the mount and truss tubes from dark-sky adventures.

The JMI Train 'n Track works well for keeping an object in field during general viewing. They sent me the wrong altitude bar (for 12"), and so I've modified it so that the one they sent fits the 16" and works as designed.

I'm sorry to say farewell to it, but I am upgrading for planetary imaging.
