Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2004 12:53 pm
All,
Having got my C9.25, I'm putting my trusty 8" Newt. up for sale.
Description:
Skywatcher 8" f/5 Newtonian OTA: S$550 (was S$650)
Specification:
Primary mirror diameter: 200mm
Focal Length: 1000mm
Focal Ratio: f/5
Secondary mirror holder: Four vane spider
Focuser: 2" rack and pinion with adoptor for 1.25"
Items Included:
1. Sky-Wacher 8" f/5 Newtonian OTA,
2. Tube-Rings with dovetail bar to fit CG-5 or GPD,
3. 9 x 50 Finder (wonderfully bright - I used it for starhopping!)
4. Skywather 25mm Plossl
Comments:
A few scratches on exterior of OTA, but mirrors in good optical condition. Holds collimation very well. Focuser is good enough for CCD work - rock solid when locked.
For images taken with this scope pls see the older photos taken on my website;
Sarawak Skies
or for a specific image;
Omega Nebula
Various views of the OTA;
Equipment page
Note the mount is not included - that's been sold.
Anyone interested pls send me pm. I'm in the Braddell Rd area.
