Beat the falling dollar and a very long wait for one of these great scopes.
Full Argo Navis/ServoCat Tracking/GOTO.
Eyepiece height at zenith is 162cm so no ladder required.
SDM #30 started life in 2009 with a premium USA mirror.
In November 2012 the mirror was re-ground and re-figured by Mark Suchting.
At the same time Peter Read of SDM upgraded the scope to close to current specs.
Since then I have only used the scope about six times so everything is still
in excellent condition.
Comes with a Televue visual PVL-2008 Paracorr,
Howie Glatter 2" Laser collimator with 1mm aperture stop
and a Howie Glatter 2" TuBlug.
Other Features:
Saintech Enhanced Aluminum Mirror Coating
ServoCAT with wired & wireless Handpads
Argo Navis plus Stalk and Shelf
Antares 1/30 Wave Secondary Mirror
Motorized Collimation with wired Hand Pad
Moonlight Swing Filter Focuser
Stellarvue 50mm x9 RACI Finderscope
Internal red LED mirror lighting for nighttime Autocollimator etc
Thousand Oaks Dew Controller for Secondary and Eyepiece/Finderscope
Telrad with Heater
Mirror Fan
Laminar Fans
Powered Ground Board
Shroud
Split System Wheeling Handles
Temperature Gauge
Pole Hard Case
UTA Hard Case
Accessory Hard Case
Storm Cover
Transport Cover
Cardboard and Foam mirror shipping box
900amp Projector Battery Pack
2.4m basic but sturdy wooden ramps
