Hi All,

As I now have too many telescopes, it's time to let go of one.

Purchased about 3 years ago, brand new. I have all the accessories that came with the scope originally. I also have some other stuff I have bought for the scope which is also available, I'll list the prices separately, but of course if someone buys the scope, then they get first go at them at package deal prices.

I still have the original shipping box for the scope and tripod, without the outer box for the scope, it can be shipped at the buyer's expense, though I can deliver to Melbourne.

This is a great scope, my first and a great way to learn the cosmos. Goto works well and setup is a breeze. I have used this scope to take many pictures (see http://tinyurl.com/3bzu3k).

Price $2800 neg. Now $2300 neg

Accessories:
Meade field derotator (used a couple of times, work OK, but bought a wedge) $250
Solar filter for 8" (Glass filter, orange sun) $100
Kendrick Kwik focus (Hartmann mask) $50

Thanks for looking.
Stuart

Your Welcome Stuart. My First Night and... its overcast.
So I still went through the difficult alightment process.... Press Auto Align button.... whir whir zip zip.. done. phew!!!

Then all I could do is manually point the scope at the street light down the road a bit and marvel at how well it showed up the moths flying around.

Oh wait there was a hard bit, it discovered that the scope was in a new location and asked me to enter the name. :-)

Bring on the clear skies.
