OK, it's finally arrived from Belgium.
The prospective buyer(s) couldn't wait so it's still available.
Pick up only from Maribyrnong.

Hmmmmm
Over 2500 views and no offers.....
Is the pricing that far out of court????
That's basically what I paid about 4 months ago....

Ken, I think the pricing is fine. If you were in Sydney I'd be very tempted.

I think the problem must then be the lack of dedicated amateurs willing to drive to Melbourne for pick-up.....
>3000 views and no real offers.....

When you consider that all the astronomical discoveries prior to the early 1920's were made using large achromats - double stars, planetary etc there's still room for a large refractor to perform very well.
Many are used with Baader Herschel Solar wedges for magnificent solar views/ images.
You're only limited by your imagination! Oh, and your mount.....
