Up for sale an ARO 150mm F10 MAK in excellent condition.
For those not familiar with the ARO MAKs they were made by Tom Dobbins in the USA in the 1990s using Russian optics , the fit and finish are excellent , something lacking in the regular Russian scopes near zero image shift with the focusing ( I can't see any ) very hard to find scope I heard only 100 were made.
The finder can be removed and the bracket can be used as a camera mount , I made a simple bracket ( included ) suitable for an RDF ( not included )
Includes 6 x 30 finder , dew shield , caps , 2" to 1.25" adapter , base plate to attach what ever dove tail you like .
The Russian version is going for a knock down bargain price of $1450 at Astronomy and Electronics Centre
This one $800 pick up or plus post
PM if interested
Thanks
Zane
