EPs for school scope: Thanks

[mental4astro]

Hi, I'm making a dob mount for a school's 4.5" scope, & would like to know if someone might be able to kick in one or two EP's this way. Currently it has three terrible EPs, poorly made, too narrow FOV & no eye relief. If someone has a 1.25" plossl or two they can spare it would be appreceiated. I should be able to pick-up in Sydney.

PS, the kids will be painting the mount with stars & planets. Should be nice to see what they come up with.

I'll offer a set of used Edmund RKE's 8mm ... 28mm, these are original 1980's ones, 1.25" barrels with some marks from use but the optics are still perfect. Should do nicely on that scope.

Alternatively if that's "too good", I have 2-3 oddball ones you can have.

I might have a couple of plossls - I'll check and get back to you.

Mercedes s/1970, thanks for your offer. I'll take up Wavytone's offer this time. I'm meeting him up at the Blue Mountains tonight, at the Katoomba Airfield, where he is bring them along.

Thanks again, Merc & Wavy. I should just manage to get this mount done this weekend, all in time for an astro night at the 'scope's home this coming Wednesday.

Thanks - been a bit hectic here. If you change your mind, let me know and I can post them to you (6, 15 & 25). Good luck with the project.
