[Logieberra (Logan)]

For Sale: Skywatcher Black Diamond 10" Newtonian

$250.00 or best offer (Andrews has them listed for $599.00)

Pickup from Canberra or shipped @ buyer's expense.

Comes with the standard accessories:

• 50mm finder;
• Tube rings;
• Vixen style mounting plate; and
• Dust caps etc.

Along with a few upgrades:

• Flocked with Prostar (N.B. this secondary holder is not included, http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=67170);
• Major update to stock springs, the rear cell now holds collimation VERY well (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=71468);
• Added a fan to the rear of the scope; and
• Upgraded GSO secondary mirror (bigger than stock, but minor chip on edge when I installed it, does not degrade image quality as you can see, if it bothers you grab another one, they are cheap).

Performs well on both planetary and deep sky. See the pics - taken with humble gear and in my early AP stage.

The price reflects the condition.

Ready to be mounted on your EQ6 (requires 3 x stock counter weights) or G11 with a suitable plate etc.

Could also make a nice-n-cheap dob project :0)

Reson for selling? I have another scope in mind.

I will also be off-loading my 3 x Catseye Collimation Tools in another sale. Stay tuned.
