Hi Rob, I'm interested but can't inspect until Saturday 1st May.

Couple of questions though:

1. Roughly how old is the scope? I think I read somewhere that Bintel changed the mount point on the OTA at some stage, their current model is apparently much better at locking into position. I could be thinking of Skywatcher though.

2. You haven't mentioned any specific issues / wear & tear - is there anything of note?

3. Again not sure if it's due to the OTA's age or simply an oversight in your description, Bintel says all their current BT-??? OTA's come with a 2" wide field eyepiece which you haven't mentioned.

4. No mention of Bintel's included moon filter, if it's a 2" to go with the eyepiece is that also available? I already have a 1.25" filter so don't need the original if it's that size.

Cheers,
Rob
