Orion LaserMate Deluxe Collimator: http://www.bintel.com.au/Accessories/Collimation/Orion-LaserMate-Deluxe-Collimator/419/productview.aspx
New: $109
Total new: 1218
Asking: $300.
Reason for selling: I currently have 4 telescopes and this one is not being used.
I have assembled and tested all parts today and everything works as it should. I have the original box for the telescope, but have no box for the mount. Would prefer local sale (Brisbane) due to a relatively large size of the telescope.

It is a fine telescope for visual observations and with 1.2m focal length and 150 mm aperture will deliver many exciting views of the night sky. The telescope is only about 4 years old, and the mirror is in pristine condition, as is the telescope.

I have even used it a while ago for my first attempts at astrophotography with Orion G3 and HEQ5- see the pictures attached. However, for successful astrophotography you would need a more accurate mount than included EQ3 and the focuser is very basic.

Price reduction- now only $300 for the lot.

[Slawomir (Suavi)]

Due to immense interest in buying the entire package as whole, I will also consider reasonable offers for the individual parts.
