[SOLD] Carbon Fibre GSO RC8

[swannies1983 (Dan)]

Given work and family commitments, I'm considering selling off some of my equipment as I haven't used any scope since the start of the year and I don't think I will get a chance for quite some time.

I have a GSO RC8 which I purchased from an IIS member last year. The previous owner had only taken it out once and I have used it about a dozen times and since been stored in it's original box so it's still in an excellent condition.

It comes with standard accessories including stock focuser, 3 focuser extension tubes, Vixen style 1.75" wide dovetail at top and a Losmandy "D" style 3" wide dovetail plate at bottom. It also comes with Bob's knobs.

Here is a picture of The Running Man I took with this scope in combination with a modded Canon 30D. Here is a picture of the Horse Head Nebula with the same setup.

Ok, there is enough interest so this scope is up for sale.

Bintel price in $1,099. I'll sell it for Price $750 + postage. Prefer Adelaide buyer but will courier. From previous experience, Pack and Send offer insurance on telescopes. Contact me for a quote.

Attached picture is of my setup. Camera, tube rings, guide scope etc and mount are not included. I will post pictures of what you get in the next day.

Just to be clear, this is the CF model.
