[SOLD] Meade OTA 12" ACF (Price Drop)

Icky (Ian) · #1 19-01-2011, 09:12 AM

The mount and scope were bought less than 16 months ago with the intention to pursue astrophotography. Unfortunately, due to a few factors (including the need to raise some cash!

), that ambition has fallen by the wayside.

As you can see in the photo below, there is 2 computer boards, 2 lots of servo motors and 2 hand controllers.

Yes great buy for anyone in the market for a new Meade 12" OTA - ACF too!

Would have been tempted too but I have a new C11 OTA and trimmings.

Ian, do you have any examples of images taken through the scope?

Icky (Ian) · #12 22-02-2011, 10:15 PM

Hi Paul, unfortunately no images have been taken through the scope, so I can't provide any examples. I'd be happy for you to give it a test drive if you happen to be down my way in the near future.
Cheers, Ian.

Thanks for the offer Ian but i can't see me getting down that way in the foreseeable future. Probably just as well.
