Thinning the Herd

Hi all,

I have a bunch of items that need new homes as they just don't get the necessary loving here, Some items include post in the price, others post is additional, and others a pick up only - see individual items.

1, Saxon ED100, f/9, in very good condition. Comes with tube rings and GSO dual speed focuser (original focuser not available). Has very minor marks on tube from use. Objective lens is pristine. Optically a very lovely scope. Asking $575, pick up from Maroubra. I can post this scope out at buyers expense, as I now have it double boxed. SOLD

2, Orion ST80, in good condition. Comes with beefy tube rings. Has a ding in tube from a bolt that was wound in too far (see pics), and the focuser has been machined where the finderscope shoe is as the casting didn't let the finderscope fit in all the way. As the focuser is made from aluminium there is not corrosion or rust. Optics are excellent with just some dust. Asking $140, plus freight if needed. SOLD

3, Orion X-Y guidestar finder in good condition. Comes with two adapters: 1 for the camera, and 2, the other fits into a 1.25" focuser. The above Orion ST80's focuser has an M42 external thread that fits into the X-Y finder where the 1.25" adapter is. Asking $140 posted. SOLD

4, Orion Starshoot Autoguider, in very good condition. Comes with a brand new cable and dust cap. No disc, but drivers readily available from Orion website. Asking $145 posted. SOLD

5, Bintel dielectic 2" diagonal. Pristine condition. Comes with 1.25" adapter and dust caps. Asking $150posted. SOLD

6, Losmandy style dovetail plate, 14" long (approx 355mm). In good condition. Comes with two coupling screws. Has some wear marks. Asking $110 posted. SOLD

7, ADM Losmandy clamp for HEQ5 PRO mount. In good condition. has some set screw marks on the mount head coupling (selling because all my scopes us Vixen style dovetails). WITHDRAWN
