For sale - FSQ-106ED + 0.73x focal reducer + bits. All in excellent condition. $5000 or offer, plus postage. I have no images taken through this telescope but I know that it worked perfectly and does not have any problems.
This is part of a deceased estate it is my reluctant duty to sell. I will be placing several more ads over the coming weeks as I sort through the collection of telescopes and cameras.
This sale comprises all the pieces shown in the photographs.
Takahashi FSQ-106ED (sn 7098).
Takahashi 7x50 finder with illuminator plus quick release bracket.
Mounting rings and Losmandy-style dovetail (bottom) + 6mm thick flat aluminium plate on top.
Takahashi 0.73x focal reducer.
Various adaptors:
2-inch back.
Takahashi 1.25-inch compression fitting which fits into the 2-inch back.
2-inch extender.
2-inch T-thread photographic adaptor.
2 screw-on adaptors which fit the focal reducer. One is labeled DSLR. The other one is probably for a CCD camera (30mm long).
I do not have the original box for this. Pickup is available (I'm 450km NW of Sydney) but can possibly organise delivery in either Sydney or Newcastle areas as I travel there occasionally.
