Hi All,
After much procrastination, I have decided to sell my 10" LightBridge Dob with Argo Navis system
(in order to fund upgrades to my astrophotography setup).
I have completed the Messier 100 with this scope (mostly from suburban Melbourne skies), as well as heaps of southern sky NGC fuzzies, all of the planets, plus a few dwarf planets & asteroids.
Argo Navis is mounted on a black aluminium stalk for use while looking through eyepieces.
Very portable setup:
- OTA weight 17kg
- base weight 12kg
All items are as new, and approximately 16 months old.
