This 6" refractor is identical to the 4-lens (2 groups of doublets) 6" Astromaster PV-152 Petzval being sold by Astro Optical for over $1200, or Astrozap in USA, here's a link:
http://www.astrozap.com/pages/refractors.htm

OTA only which already includes the 8x50 finderscope, tube rings, a high-quality 2" diagonal (unbadged Meade), 2 eyepieces, etc (all shown the photo, minus the equatorial mount). It comes with all the caps and original boxes. Just purchased new last week. Reason for sale: too many scopes, shouldn't have bought more.

6" f/5 Specifications:

Objective diameter: 152mm
Focal Length: 760mm
Overall Length: 39""
Tube Diameter: 6.20"
Dew Shield Length: 6.5"
Dew Shield Diameter: 6.2"
Focuser Diameter: 4"
Focuser Travel: 4.6"
OTA Weight: 23 lbs with cradle ring assembly
Primary Cell: Push-Pull fully adjustable
Optics: Air spaced, 4 elements, 2 groups


Asking for $630. Great bargain. Prefer a local pick-up or you can arrange your own courier, eg. http://www.packsend.com.au

Any questions, just let me know

For some reason, I had two people thinking that this was a fluorite 6" refractor for $630. ?????

[gmbfilter]

Sure, why not. Any way its a great scope thanks for letting me look.

[toyos]

No worries Geoff, my pleasure. Thanks for coming. I wish I had more time to show you some more stuff I had :)
