am back from holidays expressions of interest Meade SN10 optical tube

[5ash]

Am thinking of selling my Meade Sn10 optical tube LXD55 model as i am finding it a bit large in my very tiny observatory , i have bumps and cuts on my head to prove it.I still have my more compact LX90 so might reinstall it , or sell it as well . Make me a reasonable offer and i'll consider it . Lets start at $825 ono.These optical tubes are hard to come by without buying the dodgy mount they put them on.Pictures to follow.Last two pics taken with a G star videocamera. Pickup preferred.
regards philip will be unavailable now until after 29th april

Can you post images? what weight is it? what F ratio is it? are there any modifications to it?

Its an SN10 , focal length 1012mm, f ratio 4. Has a gso 10:1 focuser. Has been used for ccd imaging would need a 2" extension tube for visual.

Hi Philip

I may be interested in the LX90 if it is at the right price and has the right gear to go with it.

Cheers
