Pickup ONLY from Brisbane.
Seven years old in first class condition. Only 'flaws' (if you can call them that) are 4 holes drilled into the strut connection plates about 28mm lower than the 'proper' holes in order to allow fitment of, and focus of, cameras up to APS-C / DSLR size. I've only used this 'feature' for watching the Moon using liveview (see link to video below). But in the main, big DOB's like this one are mainly used for visual, and for this the large aperture and go-to system is wonderful. With EP's fitted you simply attach the struts using their 'proper' holes for focus. The EP supplied is an Orion DeepView 35mm which came with the scope. I will also include a couple of 12 V 18AH batteries. Comes with all the kit in the photos, except the folding table. It is an 8 strut system which holds the primary to secondary cells firmly in place without flexure. In light polluted areas it also has the cloth LP shield which covers the struts as per the photos. It breaks down easily and for its size has a fairly small 'footprint' for both storage (see photo) and for transport (fits into the boot of VW Golf).
