This was my main scope in my observatory , used for visual and video astronomy.
This scope is used but with pristine optics and in excellent condition, always covered when not in use, only selling due to failing health . Price $2300 , purchaser to pick up or arrange transport.

Is it possible to put a hyperstar on this?

[Bob]

Sorry I don`t know.

Hi Bob,
Sorry to hear your health is forcing sale. It’s a very tempting scope and I’m only a couple of hours away, west of Geelong. Would the telescope accept a 2” diagonal?

[MortonH]

It will. You either need a SCT diagonal:

or a SCT to 2" adapter to use a regular 2" diagonal:

Hi Graham

Yes it does take 2" fittings as Morton has said , thank you Morton.

[bootes]

Thanks both for the confirmation a 2” will work, especially the links. I have sent an email to you Bob via the IIS interface. Hopefully I can arrange a meet some time late next week.

[Bob]

I have sent you an email Graham

[bootes]

Still haven’t received email. Sent you a private msg with my contact details. Hope that arrives. Suspect the IIS website doesn’t work fully on an iPad.
