[SOLD] gso 8" f6 newt~swap or sale

[ving (David)]

my astronomical interest had all but grounded to a halt and I am figuring that a smaller scope will be of more benefit to me. so....

8" f6 GSO newt
rings
bar (skywatcher mount)
dobsonian mount
a couple of EPs and collimator.

for

ed80 prefered or similar... I am thinking a 80 or 90mm refractor f6-10, prefered at the faster end (will takea larger aperture but only if its short FL)

no postage but will travel around sydney and wollongong area for the swap or you can come to me. I am willing to pay a tad for the swap if necesary but not too much because as always the budget is tight.

PM me or even better email me if interested or you have questions.

edit** or sale for $300. pickup only.

A few questions..

Would you consider posting it to Brisbane?
Do you have a collimator for it?
Does it have knurled knobs on the dob stand and the primary?
How old is it?
Does it have any damage?
Does it have the 90deg finder scope on it?
Thanks mate and sorry for the inquisition!!

[ving (David)]

sorry it would cost too much to post to brizzy.... unless you are willing to pay the extra.
but to answer the other questions:
yes to collimator

knobs on the stand and primary? the primary has knobs and the secondary has screws... not sure what you mean by the stand tho

about 6 years old

the only damage is paint chipping off the top ring. I was goning to re spray that black 2-3 years ago (when it was last used) but havent.

yes finder is 90 degree job.

quite happy to answer questions.
