Hi folks
For sale is a SAXON 152 mm, f/12.5 Mak-Cas OTA. The OTA is in quite good condition with clean, scratch-free optics. It includes rings with dovetail, diagonal, 25mm Celestron eyepiece and front cover. This is surplus to my requirements now and I am asking $250 plus freight.
Note: There appears to be some differential mirror shift during focus, so I wouldn't recommend it for imaging. But, as a small grab 'n go mak-cas, it's OK for observational use - hence the lowish price. I do not know the age of this 'scope, as it was purchased second hand about 2 years ago.
Please PM me with your area code to assess freight cost. Allow for a packing volume of about 60 x 30 x 30 cm and up to about 8 kg.
Cheers
John
