Hi
Selling all my gear to make way for a widefield setup. This is my LX200 ACF 8 inch bought new from Bintel and serviced by them.
It includes the following high quality aftermarket kit that makes it imaging ready:
Moonlight Focuser with high resolution stepper motor (you can either control via computer or with the included hand controller - this was a $650 add on). Eliminates mirror flop completely - a beautiful focuser
Starlight Feathertouch focuser - replaced the stock Meade. Very nice unit - $295 new
Meade Ultra wedge - this is $900 new
Losmandy plates, rings (to suit 80mm scope) and counterweights - this was $450 and is an excellent and very robust setup for guiding)
Lepus Optec FR (the only FR for ACF scopes) to make it F6.2.
Bintel right angle finder scope to replace the stock Meade one
See the results of recent images on my web page on www.dancalleja.com (http://www.dancalleja.com). Subs at 5-10 mins with round stars. Peak to peak PE is 4.7 arc sec with PEC on.
To do this new would cost over $5800. I am asking $3500 for this imaging setup
I will throw in the Astrozap cover that doubles as a Bahtinov mask for focusing. I have the original packaging for the scope and the aluminium case of Meade eyepieces. Plus a Televue barlow and power supply
Shipping would be extra or I can arrange a pickup in Sydney
