WTS: 70mm binocs and others

Post by kayheem »

Hi guys,

I am unloading a few things:

1) Barska 15X70mm big binoculars - $190
Ideal for wide field, but tripod/monopod or strong hands recommended for prolonged use.

2) Manfrotto Jr Geared Head 410 - $180
Excellent condition, rarely used. 1 quick release plate included. Ideal for small scopes.

3) Vixen 400mm F5 short tube achro OTA $250
Comes with an optical attachment in lens cap to convert it to a field microscope. This was brought to the Lelong Sale and Denebman was impressed by the optics, considering it is an achro. Selling this as I have recently acquired a new Celestron 80mm F7.5 APO :P

Yes, I am impressed by the optics of item 3, a good portable achromat for dark observing sites like Batu layar.
