There is a 16” Meade Lightbridge Dobsonian for sale over on Australia Astronomy Buy and Sell for $1450 and they immediately accepted $1200 from me. I chickened out because it seems too good to be true but I never went to look as it’s a fair way away. It says it’s in good shape with optics in excellent condition. It’s been on the market since the 1st of December and that’s way too long if it’s as advertised. Did someone replace the mirror with a spherical one? Did they put a “makeup mirror” in there. I don’t see why someone hasn’t bought this if it’s for real. We’ve got the same scope on this site going for $2800. Anyone know the history of this scope? It’s from the Shoalhaven astronomy club supposedly.

Also, there does not appear to be a center dot on the mirror.
