Dear Enquirers,

This telescope would not go on your EQ6.

This telescope weighs a lot, it is nearly 6 feet tall and weighs probably around 50 Kg.

You wouldn't operate it on any equatorial mount other than something a lot bigger than an EQ6.

I recommend you put it on a Dob box, plans for Dob boxes are all over the internet.

The mirror cell is the standard Meade unit that was produced for this telescope. It is a 9 point cell system.

The primary is able to be stripped and recoated including SiO2 (using unique single optic process, NOT using multiple optics in the tank at the one time) at cost for $400, however a shipping box would need to be made.

Secondary does not need realuminising. Dielectric coating is unavailable in Australia, and is not offered for this system (it is also totally unsuitable for this system, Dielectric coating is for 90 degree diagonals like William Optics excellent units).

As stated previously system needs to be picked up from Melbourne.

I am delighted to support enquiries from interstate but you will need to come and get the gear.

Thanks for the enquiries.

Rgds,
Astromelb.
