Home needed for a 100ED

I have a 100ED with an Astrophysics focuser and Borg FR/FF and filter holders. It comes with Canon adaptors and some filters. It is suitable for starting off in astrophotography as it is a reasonable APO when used with a DSLR.

This would suit someone with at least an EQ5/HEQ5 mount.

PM me with your reasons why I should sell it to you for a nominal amount. Or you can appeal in public. My aim is to find a home where it will be used.

The last in line with a wealth of equipment will be the first to be considered.

Bert

Hi Bert

Very noble action and gracious gift (at a nominal cost). You get a big thumbs up from me .

Would be more than a great start for someone in astrophotography.

Good luck to all those that express an interest.

I love to see astronomical community assistance like this!

Regards

Gav

Thank you Bert for your very generous offer
The scope will be used to make many photo's of deep sky objects and another scope is donated to the SVAA because of your generosity
This way everyone wins.
The ED100 will be donated once i grow out of it
Thanks again,

Martin.

Thanks all for participating in what looked like an April the 1st scam.

Mill has won the glittering prize.

It would be a good thing that if we all contemplated how far we have gotten if we think about all those that got us there.

I merely want to pay a bit back.

Bert

Way to go Bert!

I'm sure the scope will make a useful addition to the SVAA!
