(1) For sale Saxon F7, 70mm achro. I used this as a guide scope with my ED80 but then got a TV85 and now have a self guiding camera so have no need of it. It comes with a few eyepieces, 25mm, 11mm, 6mm i think. The focuser is a bit stiff but it works fine and the lens is pristine. Works great as a guidescope (very light) or as a beginnners scope. It is far above a department store achro.
Price 90 AUD plus pph or pickup in Glebe or in the city where i work.
(2) AZ3 alt az mount. A few rust spots on some of the screws but it works fine and is stable. It icludes 80mm rings though you would need to get a new screw to secure them.
Price 90 AUD plus pph or pickup in Glebe or in the city where i work.
Price drop. The scope is now 80 AUD and the mount is now 80 AUD.
The scope makes a good light guide scope for small mounts like the HEQ5 or would be an excellent beginners scope at a very cheap price. The mount also makes a good grab and go mount for small refractors.
If anyone wants both I will throw in a set of 3 inch tube rings, which fit the Saxon and drop the price further to AUD 150 for scope and mount.
