8" Newtonian CF Tube

I'm selling my newt as it's pretty much the same FL as my refractor and I want something longer FL.

It's flocked with Protostar material.
The dewshield is also flocked with Protostar fabric.
The focuser was upgraded to a moonlite micro-focuser 10:1. [$250.00 + Adaptor plate $90.00]
The sharpsky pro motor is already mounted and not part of the deal but if you happen to have a controller and want it let me know.

The newt is this one here. [~$1348.90 + $51.00 shipping] It is a carbon fibre tube. The mirror cell was modified so there is no mirror pinch. The secondary spider and holder were also changed to a machined, more robust one. [~$100.00]

The scope comes with tube rings and a losmandy dovetail already mounted. [~200.00]

It also comes with a brand new coma corrector which is a MPCC Mark III like this one here. [~$234.00]

So it's pretty much ready for imaging as is in the photos.

Asking for $1200 for the lot. I'm in Sydney west. Willing to drive and deliver within a couple of hours drive or so. Will not ship for obvious reasons. It's too bulky, it's tuned and I don't want postage to mess it up. Welcome to check and inspect the gear before if you're in Sydney area.

If you're coming to the SPSP I can even deliver there but it's next week.
