12.5" Royce conical + Protostar 2ndry

For sale are the following items:

- 12.5" F/6 RF Royce conical mirror (weight 5.3kg)
- Mirror cell
- Protostar 3-vane spider
- Protostar 2" secondary mirror.

These components will make an outstanding high-resolution scope. The conical mirror is also light & cools quickly. I bought this set from IIS a year ago intending to make a planetary scope, but my plans have changed (simply because I find my main scope to be all I need for planetary observing).

Price is $1K firm + actual shipping costs (unless picked up in Melb). Bob Royce makes wonderful mirrors and this will make a great telescope.
