The "Spacegate" Astrolabe No2. RA-Dec to Alt-Az converter

Hi all.
If you own a telescope on an Alt-Az mount with setting circles and would like to convert RA-Dec co-ordinates to Alt-Az using an Astrolabe?
The "Spacegate" Astrolabe is a working instrument that requires very little effort to convert co-ordinates to locate an object to within the FOV of your finderscope. This is, in effect, a manual computer!
The Astrolabe is finished in mahogany with solid brass and copper fittings. The red LED Indicator lights are powered by 4 AA batteries.
Size- 720mm x 700mm x 680mm
An Instruction manual is also provided.
Price $500.00 ONO
Can deliver within Melbourne Metro area otherwise pick-up only.
