Hi all,

I've almost complete my TAK setup and my initial set is free to go.
The set that I would like to sell will includes following items:

Meade LX 90 SCT 8", GPS+LNT
Meade Tripod + Fork Mount
Meade #497EP Autostar Controller
Meade #505 Connector cable set
Meade Series 4000 QX 26mm Wide Angle
Meade Equatorial Wedge LX-90
Meade Diagonal (1.25")

Skywatcher Pro OTA ED80 Refractor

Losmandy Counterweight System SCT 8"
Losmandy Counterweight 5lbs
Losmandy Dovetail Plate VSCT14
Losmandy Guide Scope Rings (VR) 125mm

JMB Type A Solar - Refractor 80mm

Bintel Eyepiece Case
Bintel FMC 26mm (2")
Bintel FMC 32mm (2")
Bintel Barlow 2x ED (2")
Bintel Crayford Focuser SCT 10:1 (2")
Bintel Star Diagonal Dielectric (2")

Orion Flexi Shield

Astronomik UHC (2")
PowerTech External Power Solution (3~12V)
Canon T-ring and adaptor

Every things is less then one year old and conditions as new.
Both scopes collimated and mirror/lens perfect.
I'll provide original boxes, manuals, purchase receipts for each item.
NOTE: The Autostar controller works but the LCD display needs a replacement.

I'm not going to explain how much the above did cost me, but here is the deal... I'm not looking for huge amount of money but I need to get out from my place an unused set. So, I'm happy to sell the entire package for 1800$, which is not even a third of what I spent.

I don't want split the set and I'm not shipping. Everything can be reviewed and picked up from Kirriblli/Milsons Point (Sydney).

This is a Visual only setup right ?

No Stu - the equatorial wedge promotes it to astrophotographic readiness. :thumbsup:

Nice setup.

[slippo74]

Sorry for my late reply and thanks Chris that have helped on this.
This setup is suitable for astrophotography as the wedge allow you for exposure up to 10 mins with no major issues. Of course I will never recommend it for exposure longer than that without moving the OTA on a different mount type (EQ6 or so...)

Cristiano,

Onya, mate. That's one awesome bargain for a complete setup. Don't usually see deals like that.

Yeah I know mate... but look, it's painful for me to see my first babies get covered by dust because I'm not using it. I was lucky enough to got my Mewlon 300, its companion EM-400 and finally no more carry in/out the scope, coz my new place has a perfect "stable" spot... So I don't care about the money as soon the Meade goes in the hands of someone who will love it again :) ... and I'm sure Troy will love it.

[Hawkeye 2010]

indeed I will; I'm looking forward to introduce the scope to the Melbourne night sky:)

I am in Wollongong, and am interested if Troy isn't

[Stu Ward]
