Price Drop - Meade 10 inch SCT OTA with extras

[koputai]

I'm rethinking my astronomy gear, time for a big change, so some must
go.

This Meade 10" LX50 SCT is in very good condition, bought from a well
respected IIS'er about 2 years ago and used a handfull of times since.

I have added a number of extras including:

Kendrick DewZapper heated dew shield
GSO 10:1 Crayford focuser
Homeyer Cradle with Losmandy D-Plate

It has the standard finder, and all caps.

The Homeyer cradle is a piece of art, and is as solid as the proverbial
masonary outhouse. It's VERY heavy duty. A weighty setup sure, but
my EQ6Pro has handled it no worries. No mount included.

This scope gives lovely crisp views.

Was $1500. Cheap! Now $1,200 !

Pick-up would be preferable, in Sydney's North, or I can meet you
within a reasonable distance. If you would like it shipped, I can do
that, it would be very well packed. Courier would be at the purchaser's
expense, and risk.

Cheers,
Jason.

If anyone just wants the OTA, I'd be interested in the cradle.

How old is the Telescope and do you know how much it weights ?
Thanks Mark :thanx:

Hi Mark,

Not sure how old it is, it's an LX50. I'll check for a date stamp, but I don't think they have one. Both the optics and tube are in great condition.

Weight: 11.3 Kg (from the web)

Peter, I've sent you a pm.

Cheers,
Jason.

Reduced again, now $1200.

does this have a computerized mount?? im new to all this sorry

[koputai]

Hi David,

Sorry, as it says in the ad, no mount included. It fits nicely on anything from an EQ6Pro upwards. If you need an EQ6Pro I have one which I could be persuaded to part with!

Cheers,
Jason.

how much would you be asking if you included the mount you have?

[koputai]

Hi Keiran,

I have sent you a private message. If you don't see it let me know here.

Thanks,
Jason.

Hi, is your Meade 10" sold?
Just wondered how much it would weight with the cradle and the losmandy bar as well?
Interested....
Cheers
Graham.

Hi Graham,

I've just weighed it. It comes in at 18.4Kg complete with finder, GSO Crayford focuser, Homeyer cradle, and Losmandy plate.

Regards,
Jason.

Hi Jason,

If this hasn't yet been sold would you give me a price for the telescope and the mount that refer to. I will arrange freight into Hobart.

Thanks
Russell
