Hi everyone,
I've decided to sell my Vixen LVW 13mm eyepiece (1.25"). It's the wide-angle version, with 65 degrees FOV, long eye relief (20mm) and foldable rubber eyeguard. I haven't got pics right now but here is a link to what it looks like: http://myastroshop.com.au/products/details.asp?id=MAS-082.
I bought it some time last year after tax time but I've only used it twice since, otherwise it spends its time sitting in my foam lined accessory box. Even though I think it is a superb eyepiece (pinpoint stars, great contrast, wide enough field of view), I can't justify keeping it because I don't use it often enough. I also need some extra cash to finance some cycling gear (yes I found another expensive hobby...), and since I ride to uni everyday, I can certainly justify those purchases :D
I'm only asking for $290, including registered post to anywhere in Australia only :) Pick up from Canberra is ok too, or from Melbourne as I will be down there from November 30th for the summer. They cost $315 brand new from my astro shop, which is where I originally bought them from. They are in perfect condition, with both end caps and I think I still have the original box but will have to search for it. Will post pics soon.
Kind regards,
Silvie
