Hi all
I want to trade for equipment surplus to someone's needs like a focuser suitable for a
(Ascotron Astonimical Reflection Telescope D=41/2" F=900mm) and or a collimating tool or anything that may make my learning curve shorter or just make viewing more enjoyable I am not after too much for trade something or a collection of items to the value of around $100 which is I think quite reasonable even with the mirror condition. Postage would have to be arranged or pickup. It is just the base, tube and optics I have removed the Talrad for use on another scope and am keeping all my EP's. I will sell if asked but prefer a trade.
This link is about this scope it needs recoating I am being upfront about this but even with the state of the primary it has no problem viewing the Ring Nebular as one example in a light polluted area with factory lighting very bright all around me

The pictures are of the scope and optics along with a picture taken of the 2009 Compendium of moon images taken afocally with the scope
P/S the optics have not gotten worse that I can notice since I purchased the scope. I am also interested in any lenses to suit a Nikon D200 DSLR, Fisheye, Macro or Zoom etc
