Hi guys,


I have 2 scopes for sale

1) ED80 APO f6.8
I bought it two years ago from guys in USA and I used it 1-3 months as a guide scope.
It comes under Astrotelescopes brand mentioned on a 2 page manual and specifications on the scope.

It's an exact replica of ZenithStar 80 II f/6.8 ED Doublet APO OTA (http://www.andrewscom.com.au/site-section-10.htm) that Andrew sells for $699. I think they both come from the same factory. The scope seems to be top quality one.

It uses FPL-51 glass and comes in black colour with 10:1 microfocuser and in black aluminium case. The focuser is 2" and I cannot recall if it's been supplied with 2-1.25" adapter or not.
I will look through my stuff and if I find a spare one I will add it at no extra cost.
The refactor is in excellent condition. I believe there should be some small marks left by rings it's been mounted in but I can't see them now.

Sale price:$490. Pick up is free from Point Cook. It can be posted at buyer's cost.

2) [SOLD] MAK90 Pro-Optic 90mm F/5.6 telescope & telephoto lens. I used this one as a guide scope for 6 months. It was mounted under my VC200L attached to a vixen dovetail. It's a small & rare scope that no longer manufactured.
I am selling it with vixen style dovetail adapter that can be used to attach it to vixen dovetail bar on your scope.

The MAK comes in white with a black soft case. It also includes a 45 degree diagonal and a 20mm plossl 1.25" eyepiece. The back of the MAK has adapter with a male thread to attach QHY5 camera.

The mak90 has been [SOLD]

I will take pictures of both scopes within next 2 days.

Both scopes will be supplied with bahtinov focusing masks.

Regards,

Mike

Mike, Did the MAK90 make a good guide scope? What are you using instead? I am looking for aq guide scope for my new Vixen VC200L

I missed this one today http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=59521&highlight=ed80
it was $350 with mounting brackets for a HEQ5-G mount which I have.

Does yours have mounting brackets?

And any Idea of freight costs to Hazelbrook 2779 blue Mountains?
