Here you go Andrew,

I got Star Optics to fit a solid stainless steel extension bar instead of the flimsy mild steel they currently use..it is also 4" longer so less weight is needed.

Also there is an extra weight seen in pic as you only get 2 weights standard...not even enough to put a SCT ontop.

Will get back to you on Postage cost.

All thats left is the 8" F4 Scmit newt with upgraded focuser with 10/1 microfocus...come with Rigel and solid tube rings..will also throw in a very solid modified dovetail plate for the EQ5 and EQ6 mounts.

Baader MPCC used once perfect for the above scope..screws directly into the Camera T ring.

Losmandy camera adapapter...perfect foundation for use with camera lenses sitting on a losmandy dovetail plate.

Accepting offers.

Tony, I'm curious. Can you comment on the advantages of the 8" f/4 Schmidt Newt over a regular 8" f/4 Newt?

Tony, I honestly had no clue about the practical differences between the two designs. Sounds like it might be a nice upgrade for Eric! (I'd buy it but then I'd have to chop it up and turn it into a truss Dob, and I'm not sure it would like that. )

Gee that top plate looks familiar Tony

Tony how far past the camera plate does the screw of the camera mount reach?

Sorry Tony, the camera mount was of secondary interest. I've purchased a Musky 90mm to use as a guide scope on top of my ED80, only to find mounting is a issue,100mm mount rings dont fit as the ouside diameter of the tube is 102mm, so seaching for a solution and thought Losmandy mount rings (130mm)might work if there is some way to attach to the ED80. Thanks any way
Graeme (we meet at Ron Knights last dark weekend)

Last chance guys....will move to Astromart and others for sale.

Bit surprised knowone hasn't grabbed this for imaging being 8" F4 Schmit/newt that has everything to be put directly onto an EQ5 or EQ6 mount.

Very difficult to purchase these as an OTA..normaly you will have to buy the mount as well.

Comes with extra's rigel quickfinder, New 10/1 microfocuser, Tube rings, Modified heavy duty dovetail for EQ5 & 6 mount, dew strap.

Selling for $900 plus postage.

Used only once...boxed as brand new.

Accepting offers.
