GRAND SALE! ... is over!!

I am going on an overseas trip in a week's time, and I would not mind a bit of extra cash before I go. So sale is for the next 5-6 days only! All prices are firm.

2 x Antares Elite Plossl 25mm - Made in Japan - great binoviewing pair or when used singly on deep sky - in excellent condition - one of the best Plossls avaliable anywhere - come with winged eyecup:
- recessed barrel model $90
- straight barrel model $85 (optically identical to above)

Televue Plossl 15mm - in excellent condition - $100 - SOLD

Televue Plossl 17mm - optically flawless, as good as the 15mm - cosmetic damage to barrel (my fault) - markings on retaining ring indicate having been pulled apart (previous owner's fault) - comes with removable winged eyecup - an absolute bargain at $65

Panoptic 19mm - in excellent condition - superb eyepiece for any scope! I have a pair of these but I'm hanging onto the other one - $300 - SOLD

Nagler 17mm Type 4 - 2" barrel - in excellent condition - comes with pupil guide insert and instructions - an absolutely outstanding eyepiece for all types of telescopes - the ultimate spacewalk glass - $440 - SOLD

Antares 1.6x 2" barlow - Made in Japan - in excellent condition - if you are after a good barlow this is an excellent performer - works brilliantly with the 17mm Nagler Type 4 (see above) - also works as a 2x with a 2" long barrel extension or a 2.4x with a 4" extension - stingy Canadians did not supply any end caps for this one, just the box - $110 - SOLD

Skywatcher 102mm Maksutov Cassegrain - 1300mmm focal length in an extremely small and lightweight 4" scope - ultimate portable scope will go anywhere anytime - excellent planetary for its size: Cassini division no problems, shadow transits on Jupiter observable in good conditions - nice double star splitter - will go 1.2 degrees wide which is ample for just about all DSOs - great for terrestrial viewing too (but you might like to get an erecting diagonal for that) - comes with 1.25" mirror star diagonal, red dot finder, 6x30 finderscope, 10 and 25mm eyepieces and 3x barlow - can be mounted on a regular camera tripod - in excellent condition - retails for $600 or more ($599 for OTA only from Andrews) - $350 - SOLD

All prices include regular postage within Australia.

Photos to follow in subsequent posts. Please PM if you're interested.

ps. When I'm on IIS I can perfectly see whether I've got new PMs or not, so please try to resist the urge to clutter the thread with post alerting me about PMs sent - at least until I upload the photos for all items.

Thanks for looking.
