TV102 with Gibraltar mount, Televue finder shoe (the finder was lost when I moved house) and a set of Televue Plossls (55mm, 32mm, 20mm, 11mm) with 5x Powermate - $2800. I have a saxon laser pointer that fits the shoe - I'll throw that into the mix as well if anyone is interested.
Recently, I bought a house and can no longer leave my telescope set up (the new house is much smaller and my wife called shotgun on every square inch of storage space), so the grab and go nature of this scope is sort of compromised. I was thinking if I am going to only use the scope once a week (I am too lazy to set the tripod up, attach the scope etc after work), I may as well get an 8" LX90 or CPC or something and see a bit deeper.
As far as the eyepieces, to my eyes, these are just wonderful eyepieces to match this setup. I started with Ethos (17,10 & 6), moved to Naglers, onto Panoptics and arrived at humble old plossls. Wish I had have known this in the first place, but meh - all part of the fun...
I should mention too - no splitting unless I get a reasonable offer (~$2300-$2400) for the scope and mount first.
I'm just floating this idea out there - if no one is interested, I am happy enough to just hang on to it. I'll probably end up regretting this if it does sell anyway.
Please PM with offers, comments or general abuse...
