WTS : Orion Star Blast 4.5 c/w accessories & EQ mount

Post by Chris »

Total price: 400SGD

The complete set comes with everything required for an observations session. Just set up everything and start. Good for beginners.

Mount is an EQ3, counter weight included. ($150) I have refurbished it, switched out the rusty screws and re-greased the thing. So, the condition is better than the state of which it was bought.

Orion Star Blast imaging OTA have been used for 3 times only, due to poor weather and A lvls. ($350 from astrobargains)

Finder scope and bracket included, + a 20mm meade plossl eyepeice.

Also comes with tube rings. (costed me $45)

The whole set for 400SGD. Saw a way better deal, thus, selling the scope.
Moving into astrophotog, and the manual mount had little use to me.

PM me or sms 98808629 to buy.
