Wanted Finder Scope

[leon]

Hi all

Would anyone out there have a Finder Scope with dovtail bracket to fit the Orion ED 80 that they may wish to sell.

Thanks Leon

Leon I bought a red dot finder (http://www.myastroshop.com.au/products/details.asp?id=MAS-108) from My Astro shop for my ED80, slots straight in and isn't too bulky, cost just $44 recession riddled buckazoids. If you get one make sure it comes with the correct bracket. Mine was shipped with the wrong bracket, but Steve rectified that in record time.

Thanks Phil, I didn't think of the Red Dot version, i'll keep that in mind.

Cheers leon

Leon, I have a Meade finder scope 9 x 30 (I think from memory), but no dovetail or rings.
See if you can get just the dovetail and rings and get back (PM) to me if you're intersted. Ohh yeah I almost forgot................the price!!


Although it is surplus to my needs, and considering sentiments etc.....been in the family for years, spent many enjoyable nights together, etc. etc. I could let it go for say...........................the cost of postage?

best,
Doug

Doug sent you a PM yesterday and today, how do you feel about the price.

I thought an ED80 was a finderscope:eyepop:

I have an vixen 8x50 right angle gathering dust. I'd go for the red-dot myself though.

Don't be rude!

BTW Leon it is an 8 x 50 not a 9 x 30 as I indicated earlier.

Cheers,
Doug
