OK, it's finally arrived from Belgium.
The prospective buyer(s) couldn't wait so it's still available.
Pick up only from Maribyrnong.

Is the pricing that far out of court????
That's basically what I paid about 4 months ago....

Ken, I think the pricing is fine. If you were in Sydney I'd be very tempted.

I think the problem must then be the lack of dedicated amateurs willing to drive to Melbourne for pick-up.....
>3000 views and no real offers.....

When you consider that all the astronomical discoveries prior to the early 1920's were made using large achromats - double stars, planetary etc there's still room for a large refractor to perform very well.
Many are used with Baader Herschel Solar wedges for magnificent solar views/ images.
You're only limited by your imagination! Oh, and your mount.....
