Hi all,
This kinda sucks for me but I will be moving overseas and will have to part with my most treasured possessions, my 10"f/5 GS dob (approximately 3 years old) and my Orion 4.5"f/4 (approximately 2 years old...bought this on my trip to California and brought it all the way back here). Want to get $520 for the 10"f/5 GS (comes with only the 10x50 straight through finder...no eyepieces included) and $220 for the StarBlast (comes with three Orion Explorer eyepieces, a 17mm, 10mm and 6mm..very bright eyepieces).
The 10" has shown me heaps and I have even written a review for this scope at :

The StarBlast is the perfect "grab and go" scope and this replaced my Orion 80ST as my most used scope (nice and color free....and shows the stability of a full sized dob!!!). Both are in good condition. Mirrors look a little bit dirty from use and the 10" has a slight dent on the tube, but otherwise both perform flawlessly.
Pick up only for both due to size. I am in the western suburbs in Brisbane. Drop me a PM for more details.
Cheers,
Darren
p/s: LAST PRICE REDUCTION then I am going to either list it on e bay or both my babies travel with me to Los Angeles....$450 for the 10" and $170 for the StarBlast
