8" Bintel Dob -WITHDRAWN

I have an 8" Bintel dob (BT-202) I would be willing to part with for $400.

Included are:
  • Orion collimating eyepiece
  • Crayford focusser
  • 8x50 Erect image finderscope
  • 1.25" - 2" adapter
  • 6, 9, 15 & 25 mm plossls (50 degrees, 1.25")
  • 26mm Superview (68 degrees, 2")
  • 1.25" Moon filter
It is the last model with coolling fan, eyepiece rack etc. There is some scoring on the right hand altitude hinge from where a staple protruded from the teflon pad, but this does not affect the motion at all.

My reason for selling it is that I never really use it as I am a lazy, lazy man and I tend to grab my Megrez 90 instead. Also, I want to put the money towards a good eyepiece (haven't decided which one yet) for my refractor.

Pick-up from The Gap (Brisbane) or I can drop it off within a reasonable radius (say Maroochydore - Gold Coast).
