I've decided to sell one of my 16" mirrors (I have 3 of them, probably too many). This mirror was in use between 2010 and 2011 but has been safely packed up in it's box ever since, it seems a shame that it's not being used in a scope somewhere. I had intended to build a dedicated scope for it but never got around to it, and with our move to Queensland happening next year I feel like it would be better off in the hands of someone who will use it
This is a newtonian (parabolic) conical mirror, with a continuous face, i.e. no center hole. It's centre-spotted and comes on a 3-armed mounting plate which is easy to remove if not wanted.
Details:
R.F.Royce Mirror #558, signed on the back by Royce and dated September 2010
Overcoated Aluminium, in excellent condition.
Focal length 1625mm (F/4)
Diameter 406mm (16")
Centre thickness 58mm
Edge thickness 18mm
Flat diameter at back 175mm
Royce has more information about these mirrors on his website, http://www.rfroyce.com but you can also find a lot more info around.
Asking price $AU4000 + shipping, but I'd prefer to hand deliver it if possible.
