30" Obsession FS in WA

[grl570810]

I'm not sure if I'm breaking the rules with this post, and apologise if I am, but I thought this may be of interest to anyone with serious aperture fever:

I must emphasise that I am NOT the seller and have no interest (other than an 'I wish'!) in the scope, but if you are seriously interested and not yourself an AstroMart member I would imagine I can organise a way to get you in contact. I'll only ask for a few hours viewing privileges as commission.;)

Mike, if this is a bad thing to be doing please slap my wrist electronically and delete the post...

I'll move it to General Chat forum, then it's not against the rules.

LOL I found the same thing on Astromart just a little while ago while going back looking at some past items for sale. Very nice apature, just don't tell ROD Berry

Found an old log-in of mine from before the 'pay-to-join' era, so was able to see some more detail. The 30in Obsession is "$15,500 negotiable, buyer pays freight."

Now, where did I put that winning lottery ticket?

That's interesting. I knew there was at least one in WA, even looked through it once! This is one BIG scope. Not the thing you get out for a casual look at the moon anyway.

Very reasonable price, considering a new 20" will cost about $12,000 by the time you get it in to the country.

...my ears are burning.....:)

30 inches might be a bit too large, even for my level of aperture fever. That is one beast of a scope. Some serious ladder climbing would be involved. You are welcome to purchase it HOughy! :P
