it will be a sad day for me when i sell this scope as i have only just got into astronomy, been on a few dark sky nights and met some really great people. but i'm tight for $$$ :(

not only did i get done for speeding in a badly signed area at Coolum, but a week after this i ran up the back of a lady in my car. :(

What i have for sale is a near brand new Skywatcher 8" dob.
Included in the sale:
2X Barlow Lens. 1 1/4". Packet Reads Celestron Omni. Model #93326 - Purcahsed new for approx $105
6mm Plossl EP 1 1/4 . Celestron Omni Model #93317 Purchased new for approx $85.
10mm 1 1/4Plossl Ep and 26mm 1 1/4Plossl EP that came with the telescope.
2" to 1 1/4" adapter.
Sturdy Dobsonian Stand.

I still have all packaging for telescope and stand if buyer wishes to organise delivery, but i would much perfer local pickup as the items are BIG.

Everything is in perfect condition like the day i bought it.

Asking $450 ono. If you have any enquiries you can PM me and i'll give u my mob. phone number or pm me for more information.

Please feel free to inspect item before before purchase. Come round at night and look at the stars through our window :)

Thanks
Jase

Ah Jase that's a bugger, sorry to hear of your misfortunes. I hope the Coolum incident didn't occurr on your way to Noosa after our gathering at Ron's place last month.

It's a real shame to see you selling your new pride and joy, if I hear of anyone intersted I'll send them your way.

If you're still available then come up to Ron's next month again anyway, scope or no - there's always room for an extra pair of eyes around the existing scopes anyway.

Catch you soon....

I'll also extend an offer to share my scope next time I'm out at Ron's.

I hope it all works out for you.

Dave.

As per my "Wanted" post (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=18181 ), I wasn't actually looking for a complete scope and accessory pack - but just the OTA and rings of a SW-600. Only problem is that you don't have rings being a dob and I don't really need the accessories.

Anyhow - can we discuss via PM?

Cheers
Chris

From our conversation the other day Jase can we assume that this is still available?

it's still available.

but as my financial situation turns out, i'm now not worried if it sells.

i have relisted this on ebay at a cheaper price if anyone is still interested, but that price doesn't include the barlow and 6mm.

if you want them offer me a price around the $450 mark and we can go from there.

one again.. local pickup is perfered as the box for the scope is HUGE . and you would have to arrange postage yourself.
