12 inch Bintel/GSO solid tube dob with Argo Navis plus accessories
New images added. For those who like to be free from power sources and enjoy just nudging the scope around in silence guided by Argo Navis, this is an ideal set up.
I am selling my Bintel/GSO BT302 12 inch solid tube dob with Argo Navis plus accessories. I have enjoyed using this set up very much but selling to downsize. You can read a review of this scope by Duncan on this website and another on Cloudy Nights. I think the Iceman uses it for planet imaging but on an EQ6 mount.
The all up price is $1150 for around just over $2000 worth of equipment. I will deliver as far as outskirts of Sydney or equivalent but don't want to think about shipping it nor about splitting up the package.
The scope is currently housed in my observing site just outside Braidwood NSW and I'm in Canberra. The scope is in good condition with usual bit of dust on primary. It has the right angle 8 x 50 viewfinder. It does not have the later clutch brake mechanism but I have fitted an Astronomie Shoppe Scope Grippe which can deal with most eyepieces but struggles with my binoviewers - I only have it fitted on one side because an encoder is on the other side. The attached picture shows scope with original springs attached and of course I will supply them too. Will update picture with a later one or two showing the Scope Grippe and Argo Navis.
Comes with:
Argo Navis and the BT302 encoders
Astronomie-Shoppe Scope-Totes and Scope-Grippe
A Bintel laser collimator
Bob Knobs on secondary and primary and Bobs heavy duty springs on primary
Telrad with dew shield plus
Please PM me if interested.
