For Sale: GSO 8" F/4 - SOLD

[EzyStyles]

Hi Guys,

Looking at another scope so my GSO 8" F/4 has to go. Fast ratio great for astrophoto work. Doesn't come with the 10:1 focuser but comes with the standard R&P 2". Additionally, comes with tube rings, telrad base (no finderscope). Scope is about 3-4 months old. No scratches, dents etc. The only problem is the secondary mirror holder has holes due to my collimation effort as the holder is made with plastic. This can be fix quite easily.

$250 + postage (prefer local pickup).

cheers

regarding the 'holes' in the secondary holder, does it affect collamation/operation at all? any chance of a photo?

hi monoxide. it doesn't affect collimation/operation at all as now i have place the washer infront of the colliation screws.
Here's a pic what i mean:

Because the secondary holder is made of 'soft' plastic, each collimation session, the screws were drilling into it. Another way to fix this is by filling the holes in.

ahh i see, temptation is kicking in but i think i may hold off for a bit longer.
