Hi all
I am putting up for sale my Meade LX200 10" telescope with the following accessories:
Peterson Engineering EZ Clutch (replacement Cost $65)
Bintel 2" Quartz Mirror Diagonal (replacement cost $149)
Meade 1 1/4" Diagonal Prism (replacement cost $75)
Peterson 2" Visual Back "Eye Opener" (replacement cost $119)
T- Adaptor for Canon EOS (replacement cost $35)
Tele-extender for astrophotography (replacement cost ??)
Bintel Plossl 1/14" 20 mm (replacement cost $35?)
Bintel 2" Camera Adapter (replacement cost $25)
Bintel 45 Deg Prism Diagonal (replacement cost $25)
Meade Series 4000 f6.3 Focal Reducer (replacement cost $195)
Bob knobs for easier control of collimation (replacement cost $29)
Power Transformer for telescope (replacement cost $129)
And:
USA Made Scope Buggy (replacement cost $550)
The telescope is the model branded by Meade as an Advanced Richey-Chretien. It is approx 6 years old and besides the above accessories comes with the original tripod and Meade Series 5000 26mm Super Plossl eyepiece, Autostar, GPS, 50 mm finder and the original packing box which is clean and in very good order. I have receipts for almost everything.
The scope is kept on a Scope Buggy where it is pulled into and out of the garage for use (and saves my back!)
It has been looked after by myself, is in excellent condition and collimation. Actual usage is around 25 - 30 times in its short history.
Total cost of the telescope and accessories amounted to just over $7,000
Due to the size of the carton that contains the scope, plus the tripod and Scope Buggy I doubt if I could freight it all anywhere, pick up I think would be more realistic. My location is Melbourne.
If interested in purchasing please contact me either by email
joe-cool@bigpond.net.au or mobile 0411 771 594
I am selling all of the above for the firm price of $3,000
Reluctant sale, it will be a great acquisition for someone.
Thanks
Joe
