... More info for those interested :)
Hi
I thought I would add a little more information to assist determining what the characteristics of this telescope are:
It is physically overall 650mm x 240mm, with the aperture being 225mm with the mirror obstruction being 50mm and spider gains that look about 2mm wide.
It comes with the finder pictured (I don't know its specs). I've kept the one eyepiece I used with it, a Baader Hyperion Zoom, which gave me sharp images. So no eyepieces included.
I don't have any intermediary mounting hardware from the base of the mount to the (discarded) tripod legs. I had considered having a metal shop make one or putting some large washers as 'spacers' between it and a conventional photographic tripod (like a heavy duty Manfrotto 055 or like).
Anyway, I hope that helps a little more.
Cheers
Ivan
