Update: Nope, I can't bring myself to sell it. If you really, really wanted it reach out to me via DM and let's talk.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Rosco the fickle.
Hi folks,
With some reluctance, I'm listing my Mewlon for sale. It's a fantastic scope, however I've put a different scope on my mount and not that it's there I can't see myself taking it off and swapping scopes on a regular basis! So rather than leave it sitting here looking pretty but doing nothing, I'm looking for a new home for her.
Currently not wanting to separate, so looking for a firm price of $4000 which is a significant discount).
Here is what is on offer:
Takahashi Mewlon 210
Standard Mewlon visual back
Takahashi rear-mount rack & pinion focuser
ZWO EAF Bracket & connector for Takahashi (suits R&P focuser)
Takahashi reducer for Mewlon 210 (0.85x in reality)
Takahashi Mewlon thread to standard SCT adapter
Bob's knobs for Mewlon 210
All you need to do is add your camera, and you have an outstanding lunar and planetary imaging scope the likes of which you've most likely never seen - or insert your diagonal and see details like nothing else.
If planet hunting is your thing, the Baader FFC is the recommended extender that will give you crisp, sharp resolution at 4x magnification (but can be used from 3x - 8x by changing the distance to the camera). I have one that I haven't even opened yet, but there's already one for sale here (
https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/...d.php?t=202065) at a price better than I could afford to offer.
If you tried to put this setup together brand new, you are looking well over $8,000. But if you're wanting to go the whole hog, shoot me a PM to discuss as I could add in the Baader FFC and a ZWO ASI174MM and you would be all set!
By the way, did I mention the Mewlon is only 8kg? That's lighter than an Edge 8" with further reach, and much more style.
I have the carton it was shipped to me in, so shipping this unit is possible.
As mentioned, I'm hoping to sell this as a package, but if there's something in here you are particularly interested in do let me know, so that if I do split it up I can let you know.
Thanks folks.
