We are downsizing, and that means my lovely little 90 mm Mak has to find a new home. :(
This unit has wonderful pin-sharp optics, and has a built-in flip-mirror, so you can use two different eyepieces, or mount a camera on the straight-through port and an eyepiece on the perpendicular port. Both ports take standard 1 1/4" eyepieces and accessories. It has the original 45 degree erect-image diagonal, so it is also great as a terrestrial spotting scope.
I am offering it with the following accessories:
The original tripod - a bit flimsy, but very light and portable, great when you want a grab'n'go telescope.
An AZ3 mount - MUCH more solid, but not quite as portable.
Mak-to-SCT threaded adapter, so you can fit any standard SCT accessories onto the rear port.
I have replaced the original (frankly, useless!) viewfinder with a red-dot finder.
Home-made solar filter - looks a bit "dodgy", but fits very snugly, and gives nice, safe views of the sun.
I can also include a starter set of a couple of Plossl eyepieces, if required.
How does $250 sound for the lot? Pick up from Ashgrove please - I'm not looking to ship this out.
