Due to financial difficulty I have to sell my beautiful SDM telescope

Vaughan Parsons mirror
Argo Navis plus 10,000 tic encoders
Servo Cat GOTO
Shroud, fitted dew heaters and fan mirror
case or bags for every component
11 foot stepladder and custom enclosed trailer
2" Kendrick collimator
Feathertouch micro focuser
WIFI fitted so you can drive it with Ipad (no cables)
$13,000.00 dropped now to $11,000.00 will see it gone which is thousands less than I paid for it. It has only been used about 6 times in the last 15 months.
My preference is WA but it can be freighted anywhere.

Unfortunately I can't justify two of these, but at this price this is a rare opportunity. People drop more than this on 5" refractors! I can have mine setup, collimated and tracking, single-handedly within 45 minutes of parking the car, so don't give me that 'hard to set up' bilge.
Go on, do yourself a favor - the ESO catalogue is waiting...
Cheers,
Andrew.

As painful as it is I need the money more than the telescope.
I will sell it for $11,000.00
Understand you are getting a 25" Vaughan Parsons mirror in an SDM dob with all the fruit attached including Argo Navis, WIFI and Servo Cat GOTO.
It has a shroud, dew heaters, mirror fan, 2" collimator, wheely bars, Telrad, Orion Short Tube 80 on Losmandy rails as a detail finder. But wait!
I will also throw in the purpose built trailer with ramp and custom 11' step ladder. It can be packed in the trailer and shipped anywhere in the country for about $1100.00 which is what it cost me to get it from QLD to WA last year. The trailer is unlicensed but in excellent condition. This means you will join a small club of very large telescope owners, I can put it together in about 20 minutes or 40 minutes if friends help.
