Hi, does this come with any eye peices? Will this telescope fit onto the mount with the included bits or would I need to purchase other hardware? Also what area are you in?
Cheers,
Pete

I think he meant "the" rather than "to".

Too funny!

really I'd need to find an EQ tripod/mount and to be honest I don't know where to look to find the best deal, second hand is ok, but just being a newbie I'd be worried that I wouldn't buy the right one..

I reckon though I'd be onto a pretty good deal with the 8". Hmm, any one have a suitable mount?

Hi Pete

Rings, Dovetail, and finderscope (9x50) included. Will attached straight to the mount. Sorry no eyepieces included. Telescope is brand new, never used. Mount is in very good condition. I am in the Southern suburbs.

Hi ToryGlen-Boy

Well sounds like you will have to negotiate something with Pete if he is interested. Mount would be at $700 and 8" Scope at $400.

Hi Coen

I have had a few offers to separate the items, but would like to sell as the package. So hard to coordinate individual buyers to buy around the same time. So, yes is still available.
