Hi all,

I am selling my 10-inch Meade LX200 because I have recently upgraded.

Details as follows:
- f/10, 2500mm focal length
- heavy duty fork mount
- computerised go-to with 64,350 onboard object library
- EMC super multicoatings, high-precision (1 arcmin) pointing, PEC
- Meade field tripod (with wheels, good for moving around)
- Meade die-cut foam fitted hard carry case
- 8x50 viewfinder
- full aperture (10") Thousand Oaks Type 2 glass solar filter
- 26mm Plossl eyepiece
- 1.25" diagonal
- piggyback bracket for astrophotography
- AC power supply
- original manuals

Selling all of the above for $2,800.

Replacement cost for a new 10" LX200 and JMI hard carry case would be in excess of $6,500!!

The telescope was purchased new and is in excellent condition, apart from two small and barely visible scratches on the exterior of the tube, cosmetic only.

Telescope has always lived in its hard case inside my home, and (shamefully) is only taken out of its box and used once or twice a year.

I am based in Adelaide, but could arrange shipping (at buyer's cost) to elsewhere. Serious buyers are welcome to inspect the telescope.
