This is local (in Launceston) David. Best idea would be to email Tony direct about whether the eyepieces are genuine Vixen or not.

The guy in charge of the sale on behalf of the estate was very appreciative of letting this go ahead given the situation. He want to pass on his thanks to all!

l think you will find it a little small for the 10" especially for photography, l bought Stu's LXD75 a couple of days ago, very similar mount but the scope and counterweights were to much for it, works really well with the 152mm refractor though(see pics in equipment thread).
