Well, it has happened again - I put a deposit on something and by the time it turns up, the extra cash I had put away dries up. One of these days I'll be able to keep two telescopes for more than 3 months <sigh>
Anyway, it is with some regret I put up my trusty Takahashi FS60CB. It has a small paint chip in the dewcover, but is otherwise in excellent condition with pristine optics. I could kid myself and think that I will get another, but we all know that is not going to happen - the dog will break a leg or the roof will fall off or something - so I will include the following:
- Takahashi Camera rotator
- Takahashi 7:1 Micro-edge focuser.
- Takahashi Canon DSLR mount - this has the ring for the FS60 as well as the ring for all other Takahashi telescopes (for some reason the FS60 uses a m54 female thread instead of the m56 male used by other models). This was a bit scraped by an errant burr on a Mogg adapter I had, but I smoothed it with one of my wife's emery boards.
- Takahashi 6x30 Finderscope (yes I had to buy another one - silly me for selling the one that came with it)
- Third-party quick release mount for the finderscope from Peter Tan
- Light box custom built by Peter (exfso)
- Bahtinov mask custom made by Oz Stockman
It also has the original box, includes all suppied adapters and manual/certificate. No ring mount however - I used 125mm guide rings which I will be needing. I am looking for
$1100 pickup or
$1150 delivered.
Thanks for looking & photos later tonight or tomorrow.
