Hi Gavin, I'm very much attracted to carbon - being made of it myself...

I don't need the mount though. Is there any chance you might consider selling them separately?

Thanks
Simon.

Simon - not sure if you recieved my PM the other day?
Thanks Gavin

[baileys2611]

I did, thank you. I'll bow out though, I have a need to consolidate for a while and think about how to house what I have now. Perhaps a dome project is in the offing...

Thank you for the response though.

Simon.

Hi Gavin,
Do you have any images shot thru this scope?
Would like to see what the stars look like in the corners.
What would be the price for the OTA, if Peter grabs the mount?

Cheers.

Hi Simon
Have never taken photos through this telescope, in fact it has seen little use.
These are some links that may be of some assistance!

Gavin

Thanks Gavin.
Had already done some research, hence the request for any images to see how this one fared.

Any idea on price for OTA only?
