Hi folks,

Rather than start a new thread I'll just modify this one to move the last item:

Hirsch SCT f/6.3 focal reducer/corrector. Only got it a few days ago, and never installed. I had been looking forward to this item for some time, but now I find it is not for me. Asking $90 including standard postage in Australia

Thanks for looking.

1, Hirsch SCT f/6.3 focal reducer/corrector. Only got it a few days ago, and never installed. Alas it will push back the diagonal on my fork mounted SCT too far back to allow it to swing freely. I had been looking forward to this piece for some time, only to find out I can't use it on my scope. Asking $95

2, Binocular tripod adaptor, never used. Got it with a binocular purchase, but never used. Sold

3, 1.25" eyepiece heater strap, never used, never removed from bag. Sold

4, Meade 1.25" Newtonian focuser. Well used but still in very good working order. Huge 68mm draw-tube travel. Asking $50

Thanks for looking.

Hi Alex

If the newtonian focuser is not sold, I will buy it from you at your asking price. Consider it sold. I will PM regarding payment and pick up.

Thanks and regards

Modified the original ad as there is only one last item that needs a new home.

Done.

Alex, you might want to try the MFR-5 focal reducer, a it can go in the diagonal and might solve your clearance problems.

Thanks for your help Peter.

Found another option with this 6.3 reducer so I can use it now with my C8. Hence it's now withdrawn from sale.

Woohoo, a new toy! Bit of a false start, but not a lost cause.
