WTS Misc Astro Items - Televue, Zeiss, WO etc.

Post by frwaf bfds »

2. Televue 2-1.25 inch adapter - $25
Came with a Televue Everbrite diagonal but have no need for this. This is the set screw version. Machining quality is very good with tight tolerances and a nice anodized black finish.

3. APM CNC Tube rings - for 4 inch scope - $75
Solid and good quality CNC rings, should easily be a step up in construction quality and solidity from most cheaper rings.

4. Nikon T-ring for Nikon DSLR - $10
Allows you to adapt your Nikon DSLR to telescope threads for the chance to get your feet wet in astrophotography without a dedicated astronomy camera.

5. 2 inch to M42 aka T-thread adapter - $8

6. 2 inch to 1.25 inch adapter - $8

7. Silicone anti-vibration pads - $20
Cuts vibration times in half. Highly cost-effective.

8. Red svbony vixen dovetail - $25
Some markings, but perfectly functional. Very solid.

9. SCT 2’’ visual back - $30
Very good condition. Uses compression ring.

10. Televue 2’’ Everbrite dielectric diagonal -$ 240
99% reflective diagonal with perfect optical and mechanical build quality. Very minor sleeks.

11. Off-axis guider w/ helical focuser - $65
Purchased but found I can't use this. Great condition.

13. William Optics 0.8x Adjustable Flattener (AFR-IV) - $280
Only used once or twice. Suitable for all refractors F = 500mm to 1000mm.
Has adjustable backfocus so no more need to fiddle with spacer rings.

14. Televue 2x Powermate - $260
No eyepiece holder, but comes with T-thread adapter to attach to camera.
Glass is decent condition w no fungus but has minor stain. No effect on image.

15. Explore Scientific 40mm 68 - $340
Super large FOV. Performance very close to 41mm Panoptic for half the price.

16. Skywatcher Skymax 150 Pro 6'' Maksutov - $550
Collimation is super dead-on. Optical quality extremely good, very sharp view
and star test is one of the best I've seen.

17. Televue 2.5x Powermate -$230
Perfect condition. Compression ring version.

18. Celestron Ultima SV 2x Barlow - $85
Well-known as one of the best barlows, on par with the Televue 2x barlow. Very good contrast.

19. Zhumell 1.25’’ filter set - OIII, UHC, Skyglow, Moon - $70
$30 each for UHC and OIII. Take all for $70

20. Lumicon OIII premium filter (SCT threads) - $50
Has rusting like all older lumicon filters. Performance should still be very good in the center which is not oxidised.

21. Orion Ultrablock UHC filter 2 inch - $80
Highly recommended for visual contrast improvement on nebulae. In the same league as high end UHC filters but far cheaper.

22. Vixen optics 6x30 finderscope with bracket - $35

23. Laser collimator 1.26 inch - $25

Forgot to add, still have some extra items

7. Nikon T-Ring - $20
Attaches to Nikon DSLR to allow screwing onto telescope with T-thread.

8. Generic 2-inch to 1.25 inch adapter - $8
No brand, has 1x set screw to hold 1.25 inch eyepieces. Works well enough but a little less solid than more premium adapters.

More items
9. CNC tube rings (for 4’’ scope) from APM
Black anodised CNC machined hinged rings. Feels solid and would likely be a good step up from cheaper tube rings. Asking for around ~$120.
