Hi All,
I am looking to sell the 8" f4 newtonian I built up specifically for astro imaging.
Essentially it is a set of GSO 8" f4 optics in a rolled alloy tube. There will be no mount rail, nor focuser, or finder. The focuser, rail, and finder currently on the scope are more expensive than is necessary, and unless you really want these it would be simpler to obtain them locally. The mount rail for example is an Astro Physics rail, which will not fit any/many other mounts.
With the addition of these items you would have an exceptional imaging scope, light enough for most mounts and well suited to either CCD or DSLR cameras.
Enquires via PM or off group please, to g.beal@xnet.co.nz
Images of the scope and taken through it are available, just ask.

Offers at all? What about the optics bare? From calculations it would seem that the OTA complete would cost about $50 to get from NZ to Oz.
I am open to suggestions or trades as well.
Gary

Looks like a nice piece of equipment, could you give an idea of how much you want for it?

This is not the only generous thing Lars has done this week. He is building quiet a good Karma. I wonder if he needs protection due to a big up coming astronomy purchase or some such.
