SDM 18" Dob with extras

Sadly, my time has come to leave the hobby which has provided so much enjoyment for over 3 decades. With that comes the sale of my beloved SDM telescope...


  • SDM #059
  • 18" F4.5 Galaxy Optics primary mirror
  • Galaxy Optics Secondary
  • Argo Navis
  • Telrad
  • Starlight Instruments SIPS Paracorr Coma corrector
  • 27mm Televue Panoptic eyepiece
  • Stellavue 70mm Finderscope with RA prism and illuminted crosshairs
  • AstroSystems Barlowed laser collimator
  • Light shroud
  • SDM custom-built accessory case (not shown in photos)
  • Upper Cage assembly case
  • Truss pole case
  • Thousand Oaks 4-channel Dew Controller
  • four dew heaters
  • 9AH Battery and charger
  • Step Ladder (not shown in photos)
  • Wheelbarrow handles

Serious offers over $5,500 please PM me.

I am located in Sunbury, Victoria and for the right buyer I will negotiate delivery if it is a reasonable distance in metro or outer Melbourne.

Please note:

1. I will not separate this sale.
2. The images shows a pair of aluminium ramps. These are not a part of the sale however I if they are required by the buyer I will look at providing them.

This is truely a stunning setup. Everything you need is here. Pinpoint precision stars, 10-minute setup from unpacking to collimation. All stainless steel fittings.

Regards,

Stephen
