Im hoping to swap my 7mm ortho for a 6mm

I'm thinking of swapping my 19mm Panoptic for a 20mm SuperView (+ cash). Or how about a Nagler + Pan for a 12" Dob? I don't think my current Dob deserves such expensive EPs.

I wouldn't mind parting with my 60mm refractor.
I also have a very functional dob mount for a 4.5" Newt I don't use anymore. I was going to leave it at home but if anyone is interested I could squeeze it in the 'rolla. Would make a great kid's scope. Pity the Dork Smith 4.5" OTA I made it for is a shocker (the fixed spider and secondary mount is the main problem).

"focal reducer": A vice? A hammer?

"dob wedge buggy"

What about a 10" Dob with DSC

janoskiss (Steve H) · #8 20-10-2005, 08:57 PM

That doesn't sound bad either, Dave. But first I'm keen to hear what the experts have to say about my 8".

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #9 20-10-2005, 08:59 PM

I should've called it BUY/SWAP/SELL/GIVE

Give me a Nagler and an EQ mount and a Laptop and a . . . .

janoskiss (Steve H) · #10 20-10-2005, 09:09 PM

I'd love to Ken, but I can't afford to be that generous.

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #11 20-10-2005, 09:12 PM

But Steve, what if I said "pleeeeeeeezzzzz!!!!!"

janoskiss (Steve H) · #12 20-10-2005, 09:16 PM

Yes Ken, that might work if you were waving a wad of cash in my face at the same time.

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #13 20-10-2005, 09:18 PM

I can do that. You don't get the wad of cash but I can wave it in your face!!

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #14 20-10-2005, 09:22 PM

I'll swap my GS 12" Dobbie Deluxe personally autographed by John Dobson for an 8", 10" or 12" SCT or Schmidt/Newtonian on an EQ mount with GoTo & tracking!

I think your 8" will turn out just fine. As long as the mirrors are ok.

Starkler (Geoff) · #16 20-10-2005, 09:55 PM

I have a feeling some people will leave the camp much happier with their dobs than before they came

That would be a fair trade. The John Dobson signed big Dob would be a good long term investment; I'd guess its value will increase over time, if it's looked after and stored properly.

Expecting exactly this kind of reply is why I said it "might" work and not that it will work.

I'll probably be chaining myself to a tree or something while this trade/sell/swap is on. resist....RESIST!!

Who will be there? Bintel?
