Hi Mike

Can you give any indication as to how much you want for it?

Hi Duncan
I paid $800 plus freight from Andrews Communications.
So what do you think? $650 plus freight?
Cheers

Mike, can tell me how much it weighs please.

[Mike Gandy]

Hi Jeanette
Good question, I have no idea, my guess would be about 10 kg to 15kg but I will weigh it when I go home for lunch and let you knowl ater this afternoon.
Regards
Mike.

JJJ, My one of these weighed in at 13.4kgs for OTA, Rings and Dovetail...

I am kicking myself that I sold that scope.. It was a ripper.. and would have been fantastic for mono or narrowband imaging..

[Mike Gandy]

Alex
You could be right about the weight, I jumped on the bathroom scales
and got the wife to hand over the OTA, not a real acurate way to do it?
Regards
Mike
