Recently purchased new from Bintel.

Details here: http://www.bintel.com.au/Telescopes/Reflector/Bintel-BT300-f/4-Imaging-OTA/989/productview.aspx

All stock accessories and factory packaging.

Retails for $999.00

Sell for $599.00 - reasonable offers will be considered.

Buyer pays shipping - e-go is very cheap for larger items.

After years of refractors, I purchased this fast f/4 newt to determine whether I want to go down the premium brand 'fast newt' or 'longer' RC path. Instead of dropping big coin on an RC, I gave this a try as a more affordable 'test scope'. I also wanted to confirm what size mirrored scopes will safely fit in my observatory.

Mirrors in factory new condition.

Minor, essential upgrades incorporated to this scope, including Catseye primary sticker accurately centered; thick alluminium (black) base plate inside tube to reinforce focuser; better collimation knobs and springs etc - the usual stuff that guys do to these affordable newts early on.

PMs only thanks.

Hi Logan - I'm very interested. I'm thinking about exactly the same choice (RC or newt). What was the issue - size? Did you use a coma corrector with the scope?

No issue. I will now pursue f/4 in a more exotic (costly!) design e.g. ASA or Orion Optics. I like the speed.
