NOTE: Seperated the Televue Ethos 13mm and putting it up separately. To confirm: this price is for the scope and listed items above, and does NOT include the Televue Ethos 13.
For sale is a Orion SkyQuest XX12G goto dob with some eye pieces and accessories.
It has been used a handful of times and spent most of it's four month life in it's padded case. No dents or scratches to the tube.
The XX12G is a collapsible GOTO truss dobsonian that breaks down into easily moveable parts. The heaviest part is the flat base (wood). Will fit in most cars easily (maybe not a Barina). I was tempted to the 14" but am happy i stuck with the 12". Anything larger would have been a pain to cart around.
I've had this scope out at Kingaroy and the views were nothing like the Bintel 10" solid tube i had before it. Carina was amazing and never before had i seen the ring of Sombrero in such detail. Centaurus A the hamburger was visible, where as i couldn't see it on my 10". Paired with the Ethos 13mm, the FOV is huge and sharp to the edge.
What you get:
Orion SkyQuest XX12G with all cables, and D cell battery pack (with batteries) for the fan.
Orion 12.5mm illuminated Plossl eyepiece
Orion Deepview 35mm 2" eyepiece
Televue 8mm Plossl
Orion padded carry cases for truss, top and bottom half of telescope.
Orion light shroud
Total value at Bintel: $3100~ (+ ~$330 to ship to Brisbane)
Selling for: $2150
Over $800 saving on a barely used scope.
Pickup from northside of Brisbane only - shipping would be expensive and difficult as it is in it's padded case. Cash preferred.
Tests can be arranged - subject to (our not too crash-hot) weather and my availability.
Any questions please ask.
(No the RCA battery pack is not included :) )
