Saxon 10" Dobsonian Melbourne

I have a Saxon brand 10" Dobsonian for sale. It has a new 10:1 crayford focuser (upgraded from the factory rack and pinion focuser). This is the latest model focuser (FS004) on the Saxon website, very smooth, purchased on 10 October for $144.00, still have receipt.

I also have 3 GSO plossl eyepieces to go with the scope 9mm, 15mm and 25mm as well as a laser collimator. Also included is a GSO 35mm extension tube to assist with back travel on the focuser. The Dob is on heavy-duty lockable castors for ease of transportation and also has a 4-reticle laser dot finder as well as the standard 8x50mm finder. Bob knobs on the primary and secondary compliment the outfit.

The only additional modification is I have inserted a white pirce of wood between the eyepiece rack and the mount to facilitate the storage of my large Hyperions and Stratus' eyepieces.

I'm asking $500 due to the new focuser as well as the accessories. You can pick up the Dob in Travancore, Melbourne, right next to Ascot Vale.

It's a great scope with lots of add-ons, I'm just looking at a larger aperture now.
Please send me a PM if you are interested. Thanks, John.
