Since moving from a semi-rural area with a backyard observatory to an inner-city apartment, I have used my expensive telescope and camera only twice in four years and now realise that they need a better home. I am therefore offering the following for sale:
Takahashi TOA 130NF telescope (4-inch focus tube) with field flattener and focal reducer, Takahashi tube holder, Astro-Physics dovetail plate and tube rings, additional tube rings for guidescope, bracket and flexible coupler for a RoboFocus motor, and SBIG STL 11000M self-guiding full-frame camera with internal filter wheel with 50mm LRGB, clear, Ha and OIII filters and screwed couplers to connect camera and telescope. The camera has been unused since an overhaul by SBIG. Both telescope and camera have padded cases for storage and transport. Also included is a 75mm refractor that could be used as a guide scope and a light box for flat fields. I have attached one of the last images taken with this setup.
Sale price: Telescope, accessories and camera $3,500. Pick up or arrange own delivery from Brisbane.
