Another casualty of my MX problems.... Bought new from Bintel in May 2012 with the desire to do planetary photography. Problems with my MX and some loss of interest led to the system never being used. Now with a TEC180 I really think it will just sit in the corner. It's time for this nice scope to find an owner that will put it to good use.
I'm willing to sell without the FT Focuser if necessary but hope the scope + focuser will stay together.
The photos show a Feather Touch (Starizona) motor attached that would be useful for deep sky work but probably not for planetary. I'm ambivalent about selling the Microtouch because it does fit another scope I have. If I do sell it I'd need to get close to what I paid.
What I have for sale and what I paid new:
1. Meade 12" LX200-ACF with UHTC AU$3,723.00
2. Losmandy Dovetail Plate 12" AU$159.00
3. Losmandy Radius Blocks 12" AU$79.00
4. Losmandy RDFS (finder mount) AU$39.00
Total: AU$4,000.00 will take $2,800.00
5. Feather Touch FTF2015BCR-RP 2" rack/pinion
with Meade adapter A20-3003-6) US$616.00 (including shipping)
At today's rate of exchange (ca .92) = AU$670.00. I will sell for
AU$435.00 (65% new)
6. SOLDAstrophysics CCDT67 compressor US$165 or AU$179
www.astro-physics.com/products/accessories/photo_acc/photo_acc.htm
I will sell this for AU$115.00
7. Starizona Microtouch Motor (no control box or cables) US$279.00 or
AU$303.00.
I will only sell this in combination with the scope/focuser, or focuser.
AU$240.00
All of this is essentially new and unused. Purchased new today would = $5152. If you buy the lot I will reduce the total from $3,374 to $3,200 + actual shipping. This is ca 38% off.
Pickup greatly preferred for the OTA. I'm not sure I can ship it safely. The rest can be shipped. I'm in Sydney (Northern Beaches)
