Wanted - Skywatcher SW600 8" f/5 Newt - OTA only

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Hi all

I'm looking for someone who's possibly looking to upgrade to something larger - and might want to unload their 8" (200mm) f/5 Skywatcher newtonian reflector OTA and standard GSO rings for a reasonable price. I'm specifically looking for a Skywatcher SW600 to match my current one. I'm not after a mount to go with it.

What do I want it for? I'm looking to mate a second one to my current unit and, with some modifications, turn the combined duo into a dual 8" binocular scope. I'd like to do some experimentation with mirror angling mechanics and co-collimation so that I can learn a bit before I tackle the twin 12" version that is coming from Mark Suchting.

Thanks in advance
Chris
