Hi all
On offer is a BRAND NEW (shipped in from Andrew's Communications at the beginning of March) GSO 16 INCH DOBSONIAN...yep..16 inches for $2000! All I have done is unbox it and set it up! It is, as the pictures show, a truss rod design so you can unpack this much quicker than you think (breaks down into 3 transportable parts in about 5 minutes!). A absolutely fantastic telescope made by GSO (who make Skywatcher, Meade etc all in the same factory anyway) that will truly delight the avid and committed astronomer!
I AM SELLING THIS OFF CHEAP FOR $2000, ALTHOUGH USED ONCE I HAVE LOST EMPLOYMENT AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING AT THIS BIG LOSS!
Here are the official specs:
New design GSO truss tube 16" aperture, 1800mm focal length Dobsonian delivers amazing views of deep space and represents outstanding value!
Huge 16" f/4.5 primary mirror boasts superior 1/12 wave surface error
New, stronger roller bearing design with thicker steel panels
Unique new roller side bearings with adjustable tension/braking by way of extra large, knurled side knobs (our recommendation)!
Tube balance adjustment (fore and aft) of up to 25mm is possible
Strong 18-point primary mirror flotation cell - with a 4.7" cooling fan!
Easy assembly and disassembly of its heavy duty "TPL" truss tubes compared to complex 6-truss tube designs
Crayford style 2" 10:1 precision microfocuser with 1.25" adaptor
Oversized knurled collimation knobs allow easy mirror adjustment
Outstanding quality - overall! Black colour, not white!
No white reflective surfaces within the optical path in this design!
Features an achromatic 8 x 50 right-angle correct image finderscope
Limiting magnitude of 15.5 and resolving power of 0.29 arc seconds
You will see into deep space like you've never seen before...
Includes GSO Premium 6mm, 9mm, 15mm and 25mm 1.25" Plossl eyepieces!!
So bring around a decent sized hatchback, ute or van and get a great deal on an amazing telescope that you really don't see second hand much! You can reach me on 0404 538 265 as I work from home and available nearly anytime! I live just near the Logan Hyperdome!
Peace to all!
