Cheap 78mm f12 refractor with EQ mount

I bought this intending to use the objective and tripod, but I have enough projects that I don't think it will happen.

It's a cheap Celestron clone, the mount appears equivalent to an eq2. Has slow motion controls. Plastic dovetail and scope ring - not high end by any means, but priced accordingly.

The scope's clear aperture measures about 78mm and focal length of around 1000mm (approximately f12). There's not much false colour on the limb of the moon at f12 and gives nice sharp views.

Would suit a beginner or someone who wants a simple squiz at the moon or Saturn every now and then. I'll include a 10mm plossl which frames the moon nicely. Also has erecting diagonal which would suit terrestrial use.

$100, located on the Gold Coast.
