Meade 114mm f/8.8 AST OTA - SOLD -

[dhumpie]

Hey folks,

Just testing the waters to see if anyone wants one of these Meade 4.5" f/8.8 (1000mm) OTA's. Comes complete with a 5x24 finder and tube rings. No eyepieces included. These is one of those short-barlow in the focuser type scopes so they are not ideal for high powered planetary views. Still when collimated they provide pleasing views of DSO's and the likes. I personally center spotted the primary and got the scope as close to perfect collimation as possible. Price is $130AUD and this includes postage Australia-wide. Got this as a gift for my little nephew but I think one of those 80mm refractors might be more suitable for him seeing how this scope has to be collimated to give the best views.

Later....

Ahh the powers that be say I have to get it out of the house so another reduction....$95AUD takes it.........

Someone should get this! I have one as a finderscope on the big dob and with a 26mm EP it's just about perfect!

Cool Arthur. Its a great lil grab and go...but I have my Orion ST80 for that ;) But this scope does a one up on that scope by being color free. I just have too many "project" scopes lying about....hahhahaa.
