Surplus clearout!!!!!

I've got a selection of equipment to clear out before I go to Hong Kong in a couple of weeks.... so if you want any of this, get this pronto!

(1) Tasco 60mm f/5 OTA. This red dwarf performs a lot better than its name suggests. Made by Vixen (JAPAN) in 1985 to celebrate the return of Halley's Comet. Accepts 0.965'' eyepieces, but included is a 1.25'' to 0.965'' adapter diagonal. Takes magnification surprisingly well and a 24mm Panoptic (TM) at 12.5x affords a field in excess of 5 degrees! $150.

(2) Celestron Axiom 19mm 1.25'' eyepiece - seven element design, 70 degree field of view, made in Japan, light as a feather, York Optical sells these for about $385 - $140.

(3) TAL UWA 24mm Russian eyepiece - 8 element design from Russia, 80+ degree field of view, 2'' format. $165.

(4) Antares W70 series 25mm eyepiece - 8 element, 68 degree FOV. $70.

(5) Bushnell Voyager 4.25'' "Astrocan" type reflector OTA (f/4.5) - $180. Would prefer pickup for this last one (I am in Melbourne).
