8" GSO Dob

8" Bintel Dobsonian Sold

I am selling because I never use it and don't want to shift it to the new house. It took a bit of a hiding when it was mysteriously filled up with stuffed toys ("Not me Dad, I would never do that" said the 7 year old), and is hopelessly out of collimation.

Probably worth the price of admission just for the inclusions though. They are:
  • 90 degree right angle finder
  • 11:1 crayford focuser
  • 26mm Bintel Wide view
  • 15, 9 & 6mm Bintel plossls
Having said that, the spider vains are straight, the base is in good nick, the finder is the clearest I have ever used and all the EPs have lived their whole lives with their caps on when not in use. I might even have the original manual around somewhere.

Pick up from Brisbane only - I really don't want to try to pack it up for a courier.
