Some scopes, cameras, mounts and stuff:

[WITHDRAWN] 1. GSO 8" RC with factory-replaced baffles and Feather-Touch focuser by Starlight Instruments. Includes aluminum case and an 8x50 straight-through finder. The details of the Feather-touch are: Feather Touch® 2.0" Dia Dual Speed 1.5" DTT, Brake, CRing (FTF2015BCR) and Adapter 2.0" - 90x1mm Female Thread. I have also added a JMI Motofocus and a Shoestring Astronomy FCUSB adapter for computer control. Replacement on the focuser and JMI alone is about A$750 so I guess a price of about $1600 would be about right for the whole shebang.

[SOLD] 2. A terrific HEQ5Pro with tripod and 2 x 5kg weights - just been petted and pampered by the good folks at Sirius Optics. Only 9 months old and done virtually no work at all. Latest Synscan. In really good nick and ready to guide. New price about A$1400-1500 so I think about A$1000 should do it for this item. [Edit: I forgot to include the EQDIR and EQCBL-01 from Shoestring so this mount can be run under EQMOD. I'll throw them in for the same price.]


3. Orion 100mm F6 short-tube refractor (Skyview Pro 100 I think is the original model). Scope only; no mount. Terrific optics - comes with a lovely Takahashi 6 x 30 finder (mount adapted to suit this scope) and a motor focus (forget what brand). No lenses. I've used it visually but it would be a good imager also although the focuser is not optimised for that. This should go for about A$480. [SOLD]

4. Canon 20D modded by EzyStyles himself and done well. Body only but includes external Canon power supply and Shoestring Astronomy DSUSB shutter release. This is good value at A$500.
