FOR SALE - TELESCOPE CLEARANCE
***** Ad removed and gear will be sold in the overseas marketplace with thanks, clearly no one wants such exotica here at such low prices here in Oz, I will get more for it in Europe anyway *****
I simply have to get some space back, I am literally drowning in telescopes. Therefore I am clearing some sensational telescope opportunities that simply are getting in the way and will never get used again by me.
Some of these are rare and exotics, and are priced way below what I paid for them, and way below what you would expect them to sell for. They simply need to go :)
Be quick, these are sensational buys !!!
1. Skywatcher Black Diamond ED100 with tube rings and dovetail, plus 50mm finderscope - used four times max - perfect condition suit new buyer - $ 700 - SOLD
2. Losmandy G8 with tripod, hand control, power cable, control box and tripod - This is a dual axis motorised system, but excludes a Gemini GoTo operation, it is suitable for advanced astroimaging though. It was previously owned by the most fastidious of owners, it's merely getting in the way now - absolutely superb condition - $ 1,000 - SOLD
3. Barry Adcock 102mm f1200 hand crafted oil spaced doublet fluorite refractor. This unit is simply gorgeous !! Personally tested with Barry present at 1/20 wave, and features exceptional capability images, but you expect this from an Adcock. You should all know how good his optics are, he made this ten years ago for me and I am simply never going to use it. However - this is a little different for an Adcock, as this unit features two unique features that I innovated with him, and the other units that have I have seen come up for sale don't offer: this unit is powder coated, plus also has a Carl Zeiss R&P focuser, so this unit is super smooth and it's tube is not hand painted, it looks like a commercial ultra premium - this unit is in perfect condition, and it's performance is just as good - $ 1,500
4. GoTo Kogaku 100mm 1500mm - This unit is a classic !! It is a gem, it features much better optics than a Unitron 100mm, and it is in very good condition. This is the company that in transition then later became Nikon, so the optics are effectively identical to a later Nikon telescope. Purchase a Nikon telescope today and you would pay a mint for it, this makes this a bargain. Mechanically and optical in very capable operation and condition. Optically excellent. This unit simply has to go, it's in the way - $ 1,000 - SOLD
5. Hand Crafted 250mm Dob with new Skywatcher 50mm finderscope - Again, it's in the way, good example of astro societies craftsmanship when telescope hand crafting was in vogue a couple of decades ago, optically most capable and in very good condition for it's age, including new Skywatcher 9X50 finderscope, Bargain - SOLD
6. Astro Physics 80mm 900mm - This is again a classic !! Unit is in superb condition, supply with tube rings and Skywatcher dovetail, superb optics, exquisite smooth R&P focuser, supply with 50mm finderscope, aren't any of you tempted by this classic, this unit optically and mechanically is absolutely stunning !! - $ 700
7. TAL 200K Klevtsov Cassegrain with new Skywatcher 50mm finderscope, tube rings and dovetail, plus Tal 90 degree star diagonal, very good condition. Excellent performer, so much better than a SCT it simply isn't funny. These units rival the performance of the best Maksutov's from the world's premier producers, bargain - $ 500 - SOLD
All units pickup from Bentleigh, Melbourne. All units available for shipment nationally at additional cost. Please PM for costing.
Be quick, at these prices these systems won't last long.
