Hi all,

I have a few items that I'd like to pass onto new homes - these items are all needing good homes, that will treat them lovingly, and take them out of a dark cupboard more often than I can.

* Brand new GSO 8X50 straight through finder, with bracket - $50 with post. SOLD

* Brand new GSO two speed Crayford style focuser - came from an 8" OTA. $100 with post. SOLD

* Empty GSO 8" f/4 "imaging" OTA metal tube. Band new. Comes with an empty 8" mirror cell, spider and mirrorless secondary mirror holder, OTA fan, finder scope dovetail block & a set of tube rings (not the originals that came with this OTA. Asking $150 pick up only. The shell of your own custom 8" instrument? Add your own optics & focuser and you are away.

I have a an ok condition 8" f/4 mirror (figure quality is good, though the surface is not pristine, it is useable.) and 63mm secondary. I can include these with the above metal tube for $200 - that is tube and optics together (might not have been clear in the first instance).

* Generic 24mm to 8mm zoom eyepiece. Very good condition, with both dust caps, chrome barrel has a few marks from use, body is unmarked, glass is nice and clean. Has a rattle which is common in these inexpensive eyepieces, but works well. $35 with post. SOLD

* Vixen 3.5mm LVW, in excellent condition, with both dust caps. $230 with post.

* GSO/Bintel 2X ED 2" barlow. Excellent condition, with dust caps and box. DOES NOT HAVE 1.25" ADAPTER. $45 with post. SOLD

Photos below are of the finder, focuser, the OTA (looks like this one, minus the focuser and finder), zoom EP and Vixen LVW.

Thanks for looking,

Alex.

Hi,

I'll grab the focuser and zoom eyepiece. I've sent a PM but seems that they've been a bit flakey of late.

Cheers

Hi Alexander,
I'll take the tube if you change your mind on not freighting interstate to Melb. Cheers Pete

Updated asking prices, and clarified the tube and optics situation.

Toppy, I don't have a suitable box or foam inserts to safely freight the tube. Sorry.
