For sale is an Orion ShortTube 80 guide scope (see Bintel link below for full details):
http://www.bintel.com.au/Astrophotog...oductview.aspx
This is a lightweight f/5 refractor (1.34kg) and is in excellent condition, but is surplus to my needs as I can now alternate between my ED80 and GSO-RC for imaging & guide-scope duties.
Also included is a 75mm 1.25" extension tube to bring an autoguider (or eyepiece) into focus.
This is actually a GSO 3x barlow with the lens removed (barlow lens and original barlow box is included).
$145 local pickup from Wonga Park (near Croydon in Melbourne eastern suburbs).
(or $170 posted within Australia).
Send a PM if interested.
Cheers,
Jeff
