24mm Panoptic and Meade 34mm SWA

For Sale

1) 24mm Televue Panoptic. (Sold)
The best value premium eyepiece on the market. I bought this about 2 years ago second hand and it has given sterling service since. Images are good, some cosmetic scratches on it but will suit someone looking for their first "good" eyepiece.

$150 plus postage (Sale pending)

2) Meade series 5000 34mm SWA (Now Sold)
This is a 68deg apparent field of view EP which gives a nearly 1.5deg true field in my 12" F5 dob. It is a really nice piece of glass and others that have used it have commented on its quality. It has a small cosmetic ding on the barrell ( I think it shows up OK in the photos). I purchased this new from Star Optics on the Gold Coast in 2009. It has had minimal use. This is a big piece of kit weighing in at nearly 800 grams. A TV equivalent weighs in at 725g (the 35mm Pan) and would cost $399. These sold for $399 new, I paid $299 as it was a run out item.

$200 plus postage

Both EPs come with original caps and boxes. The Meade box is a little worse for wear but still OK.

I will be bringing both items to Snake Valley on the weekend (Friday and Saturday nights) so if you want to try them out and save postage come along.

Reason for sale. I am upgrading to Ethos EPs and finding they are not being used.
