Jeff,

What F ratio is the newt? It looks closer to F5, I'm looking for an F4.

Cheers Brian

[Jeff]

Yes, the focal ratio is F/5.

Jeff, thanks for the quick replies....can you give me an idea of the postage thnx...it looks like a good entry level scope for some newcomer to the ast. soc. of the south west.

Hi,

Box is 104 x 39 x 47 cm ... so girth is too big for Aust post.
Gross weight is about 12 KG.

Have requested a quote from the Pack & Send website for shipping from VIC 3150 to WA 6220, but I expect it would be in the order of $70.

Cheers,
Jeff

Reduced to $260 plus postage.
(New price at Andrews Comms us $499).

This is a good entry level OTA for planetary imaging.

Prefer local pickup due to shipping size .... but can minimise shipping costs by reducing box dimensions to Aust Post max girth (140cm) if necessary by trimming the very large foam inserts in the box.

Send a PM if interested.

Cheers,
Jeff
