I'm changing my astro-orientation a bit and now have 2 good scopes available that don't fit the new plan.

They are:

1. An ED127 APO by North Group in original case and condition. This scope has the upgraded focuser for astrophotography; the old rubbish mounting-plate underneath has been raplaced by a decent Vixen bar; I have fitted an 8x50 finderscope; an AstroZap flexible dew-shield with built-in heater strip is part of the deal (along with the original removable aluminium dewshield); PLUS a near-new Hotech field flattener that makes a camera off the back soooo much more stable and really does give a nice image result. These are excellent scopes and hard to get hold of these days. [SOLD]

2. An 8" GSO Ritchey-Chretien. The original baffle-tube has been factory-replaced and the original focuser has also been replaced by a fantastic 2015 FeatherTouch with the proper attachment ring and a focuser-specific JMI moto-focus unit has been added together with Shoestring Astronomy's focuser/PC interface (FCUSB) is also part of the deal - plus the original aluminium case. [SOLD]
This is a call for expressions of interest and sensible offers in one or other (or both) scopes with all the extras mentioned. The scopes are located in SE Qld.

Please respond only by PM.
