76mm, fl-700mm dobbie

Hi all,

Time to see my kids first scope go to a new home. I salvaged the OTA from a council chuck-out & made the dobbie mount for it. Action is really smooth and easy for little kids to move. EP at zenith stands 74cm. I have a couple of Huygens EPs if you need something to go with it, but works really well with plossls if you have some. I've cleaned up the optics. A bit of sandpaper, a lick of varnish and a bit of elbow grease and the mount's decor changes.

Price: just a good home with kiddies

I'm in Sydney.

Sorry about the pics - images just won't rotate on uploading for some reason,

Thanks for looking,

Alex.
