One of the ubiquitous "North Group" Refractors, from the equally well known Gilman.
Bought to see if it would replace the twitchy to collimate 8" f4 newt. It could, but won't so I am tossing the idea of selling it. Haven't looked through it, but have taken a couple of images.
Focuser is a pig, as we all know, but certainly useable.
Case has suffered a slight bow to one end, but is very serviceable.
Scope will come as supplied to me, case, rings, with Vixen style rail s, and illuminated finder and bracket, 1.25" eyepiece adaptor. Caps for all.
Shipping won't be cheap, I'd rather sell it within NZ, but we can discuss it anyway.
If interested, shoot me a PM, all discussions off group please.
Picture is with an SXVF-H9 and Ha filter, just to try it.
