Cheers Jock, it really is a good quality setup which is very easy to use and gives really clear images .. once set on a target it will follow and keep it in view.
I'm sure I could do a special deal for you to treat yourself, or have it as a surprise Christmas present for Rita.

Ha Ha. Nice try Brian however, we don't have the room in the MH to take it with us.

I'm sure it would make a fantastic Christmas present for someone on FUN though.

Cheers,

Jock.

Is Joyce nagging about your man cave again Brian, why are we not surprised with your collection.
Someone very close to me would love that, but I won't let her.

I no longer have a man cave but we have good clear sky.

Good luck great present for someone. Bob.

[SuperMike]

Where's Ian, £1 a week, the Builder when you want him?

As he seems not to be about, I will out bid him and offer one Guinea a week.

 

[Bailey58]

I'll match that and raise it by a pig.

 

[icantremember]

Just added a Bader film solar filter which I had forgotten about & more pictures.

I know exactly what you mean Jim .. I shall be sorry to see it go, but I just don't use it enough since we moved to Norfolk.

You hit "the nail on the head" there Bob with the nagging.
Go on, you know you want to treat her ladyship for Christmas ... I can just imagine her carting it to the top of the mountains for the best views.

And then Bob getting it in the neck for not humping it up there for his ladyship.

Cheers,

Lovely bit of kit....

Good luck... it’s a bargain

Thanks Smiffy .. it's certainly everything needed for somebody starting up in astronomy that doesn't want to spend a couple of thousand and great quality optics all in perfect condition.

I guess you need to be somewhere like Norfolk with out to much light pollution to get the best out of it.

That's what I expected when we were moving up here.
I soon realised I would have no chance of a clear, unpolluted sky view from our new home because of light pollution all around us.

 

[dabhand]

I’m sure it’s a lovely bit of kit but did you know that on a clear night, with a mirror on a bent stick, you can see Uranus!

Yes there has been a lot of building around watton.

I think to get more space etc only option is to head further north as it’s getting busier around here as well now.

 

[icantremember]

Well I still haven't listed on eBay so price has been reduced.
