Telescope Astro Optical Sydney (AOS) 10" newtonian on Equatorial sampson mount $890 NOW $800
reasonable offers accepted too
f/5.7
apeture 254mm (Original AOS mirrors)
focal length 1450mm
It includes A Bintel 2" 10.1 crayford focuser with a 1'5" adapter
The mirror was made by Astro-Optical in Sydney in their glory days when they were a quality Australian manufacturer.
A well made f/5.7 mirror will give noticeably better images than a Chinese f/4.5.
This is all mounted on a pier with adjustable feet (This is a very heavy duty mount)
The RA and DEC shafts are 30mm in diameter
It has a large heavy duty RA worm drive. with a servo motor (servo city motor) DC powered
The Declination has a Vixen worm drive, just needs a motor (manual at the moment)
The finder scope is not included
Edit:- this mount can have Stepper motors added, and by using the EQmod kit could be turned into a GoTo scope, by using several of the sky chart packages.
Also added couple more shots of tube and mirrors
Thanks for looking :)
