10" Ritchie-Cretien astrograph from Bintel with extras. Originally owned by Paul Storey in Perth. I bought it from him and used it twice, so still in excellent condition. Found it was too heavy for my mount and also a knee injury made it difficult to lift on and off the mount and I still haven't found a permanent home/setup, so I have decided to let it go where it hopefully might get more use.
Paul installed Bob's Knobs on the secondary mirror, a Moonlight focuser with stepper motor at the back and it also comes with a dew shield (not shown). All kept in a sturdy blue tool box. The focuser motor has no control cables, Paul kept them, but I have the original focuser still with it if you care to take that with you as well.
I paid $2800 in 2014, now asking $2000 for the lot. Pick up in Melbourne preferred, or I can drive to the border to meet you half way.
PM if interested. Can post more pictures on request.
Edit: Will just add that this sold for $1800, for people that may be researching this in the future.
