Hi all,
Need to start thinning the herd - I've been given an ultimatum by SWMBO!
*
Skywatcher 127mm Mak OTA in excellent condition. 1.25" visual back, 1.25" star diagonal, red dot finder, and dove tail. No eyepiece, but if you really, really need one I can include a 25mm GSO Super Plossl. Comes with all the necessary lens caps and plugs.
This Mak gives fantastic planetary and lunar images, and has enough aperture grunt to deal with DSO's very nicely. I've used this scope less than half a dozen times since new.
Asking $350 plus postage. SOLD

Skywatcher EQ3 mount in good condition. Motions are smooth, clamps are secure and not abused. Has slow motion controls, built-in bull's eye level, latitude scale, counter weights, adjustable legs, central brace, setting circles and dovetail fitting. Can be fitted with a polar alignment scope, though I've never needed one. The only thing that stops me from calling it excellent in condition is that some of the steel fixtures have started to show corrosion through the plating. Nothing too significant, and nothing that affects the mount's performance.
This EQ mount can be retro-fitted with an after market Go-to system. Single axis and dual axis drives are also available from Australiatelescope.com.au, Bintel and Andrews Communications.
Asking $200 pick up. SOLD
The 127mm Mak can be coupled to this mount (that's how I've been using them, though very little use) even though I am offering them separately. $525 for both.
Alex.
