Celestron Astromaster 130 - Perth pickup only $120

Hi all.

I picked up this beginner telescope while visiting Perth for a few weeks. It was purchased as an excercise in cleaning, tinkering, mount tuning & optics collimating while staying with family. My son has enjoyed learning about the eq mount operation, and seeing how a Newtonian 'scope works. (We don't have a newt at home in Melb) but lots of other telescopes.

Very clean & complete, collimated (as best I can). No dents, marks or scratches. Mirrors are clean. Comes with 15mm plossl, 20mm erecting eyepiece and a Cheshire collimating tool. The battery has been replaced in the red dot finder.

Now includes a Canon (?) t-adapter (it's not Nikon). And a few accompanying nosepieces, one being 1.25", the other unknown (very small). See added pic.

Available for pickup on the weekend of 31/12 - 1/1

Item location is Spearwood (Perth).

Now $120

Regards, Dean
