Northgroup 127ED Triplet

I bought this scope from AdrianF a few months ago, but it is going now along with most the rest of my stuff.

Comes in an aluminium case, with a few eyepieces - 10, 15 and 20mm from memory - a finderscope and a GSO 2" diagonal, and rings and vixen rail
EDIT:There is one catch missing its latch on the case - see photo. It still shuts securely.

Optically it is great. The focuser leaves a little to be desired, but is ok for use with my DSLR - and nothing that couldn't be sorted with a delivery from Moonlite . The focuser compression ring has been augmented with some drilled and tapped thumbscrews so there is no chance of anything falling out unexpectedly. It has a screw on metal lens cap.

Judging by the few images I have taken with it, there is little need for a flattener - the field is not completely flat right to the edge - but for me it is not an issue. I would buy a new focuser before a flattener.

$800 firm - this is $50 less than I paid for it. Shipping is in addition to this at buyers expense

I will post some pictures when I get home from work.

Cheers
Adam

Sorry, forgot to ask, do you have any idea what it would cost to freight to Perth.

Cheers Peter

Hi Adam, seems you must have some issues with receiving mail from here, or I am having issues sending any. I have sent a few emails and a couple of PM's and received no reply. Sent another one this morning, after receiving your email.

As I hadn't heard from you, and because of communications problems, you can let the other interested party have it. I would have to buy a another mount anyway.

Cheers Peter
