8inch f/6 OTA.

[doug mc]

I have an 8inch f/6 Newtonian OTA for sale. It is a DIY project for planetary and luna observing. It has an excellent American made Parks primary mirror. I had used several China made scopes, but they all showed some optical defects, usually spherical aberation. I have the Parks optical certificate for this mirror. Full thicknes, fine annealed pyrex glass. Will sell the mirror separately. Asking for offers.

The carton mount you sold me works a treat all retro fitted with ra dec steppers and digital setting circles and repainted
6" peak to peak tracking!
Amazing for 1986 technology
Forall other viewing this item i can testify that these are great mirrors having owned one years ago
Dougs ota is no exception
A good bloke to deal with
You will not be dissapointed
Also a good drive up the mountain for pickup for all you locals!
Good luck with the sale mate
