Bespoke Engineering 12" F5 Newtonian & Nagler EP Set
It is not often that I have looked at a telescope and gasped. But when I saw this telescope I was taken aback by its sheer engineering prowess and precision in everything from mirror to bearings to finish. Built in the 1990's by a Central Coast Engineer in his local factory, this is now being sold as, regrettably, he has passed away and I am placing this ad on behalf of his widow.
Every aspect of the design and construction is precise. The optics were also made by the engineer who learnt mirror grinding and optics in the late 1950's.
See also the sketches from this telescope from July 1994 showing the impact of Shoemaker - Levy Fragment G into Jupiter. They show fine detail and superb draftsmanship only possible when viewing through a first class instrument.
With the telescope comes an extensive set of Nagler, Televue eyepieces:
4.8mm
7mm
9mm
12mm
16mm
20mm
32mm
40mm
Please do not offer on the EP's as this is a SINGLE LOT AND WILL NOT BE BROKEN UP.
This is a genuine observatory class instrument with no expense spared on any aspect of the scope. The mount is solid beyond what is required and typically "over engineered" to provide as stable and accurate a base as you would need.
There are the usual marks of use but these are only cosmetic and do not affect the performance at all.
Asking $5,000 ONO for the complete package.
To inspect this wonderful piece, PM me and I will put you in touch with the vendor.
