FOR SALE: Reposting
Binoviewers, in excellent condition and in good collimation.
Look like Celestron type but believed to be adapted, high quality optics.
The eyepiece holders are fully adjustable to different eye-to-eye widths
allowing for more comfortable viewing for everyone (unlike some binoviewers!).
They accept any 1.25" eyepieces and have a connector for a 2" visual back
(this could easily be altered with the correct adaptor to fit a 1.25" visual
back). The eyepieces are secured to the binoviewers with small thumbscrews
for added protection.
They have been used on a number of different telescopes including an 8" Meade
SCT, an ETX90 and an 8" Newtonian reflector.
Recenty purchased, genuine reason for sale.
Price: was advertised at £400 ono (negotiable)

FOR SALE: TWO NIKON CAMERAS
Both very suitable for astrophotography and both in good working order.
Both have removable pentaprism.
F2A - £145.00
F3 - £275.00 (Very good condition)
I also have a used DW4 magnifier which will fit either of the two above
cameras. I bought it used and the locking mechanism is missing but can be held
securely in place with rubber bands (seriously). Hence £65.00. Great for
composing/focussing your astrophotos.
Reason for selling: I seem to be using my OM1's all the time and do not use
the Nikon bodies any more.

FOR SALE: Rare Takahashi EM100 mount. This is an old'n'good Takahashi
GEM capable of carrying 11kg for CCD/Photo or 14kg Visual. Will easily hold 5"
refractor, 8" Newtonian, 9,25SCT. PE (measured) is around +/-3,5arcsec.
This would come with:
- mount head + motors + excellent Tak polar finder
- heavy duty wooden tripod
- 5kg stainless steel counterweight
- custom machine Vixen-compatible (but stronger) saddle
- original Tak drive (for visual / casual use)
- home made GOTO requires old 486'PC to drive the mount but offers essential
functions for CD / photo (autoguiding, LX200 commands, GOTO to near objects,
electric focuer control etc.)
The mount is located in Poland so shipping some elements may not be practical -
to be investigated. The mount is rather lightweight and easily transportable
but offers much more stability than (almost comparable in size and weight)
Vixen GP-DX.
Many pictures in my gallery: http://www.newastropl.net/polskie/galeria/dso/dsomessier.html
were made using this mount, Tak APO and MX7C camera.
Price for the whole set would be 2500 Euro, can be reduced if some elements are
not shipped. Reason for sale - upgrade. Will forward more detailed descriptions
and pictures on request.

FOR SALE: Hyper-bright green 5mW CW DPSS laser pointer. Brand new,
supplied with batteries, presentation box and full warranty.
Manufacturer's Blurb: "The GLV-5 is powered by a Sony diode with a lifetime of
3000-5000 hours, and features all-glass optics that focus the beam to a sharper,
rounder, brighter dot. It projects a green dot up to an incredible 2 miles away,
and is so powerful that the beam itself can be seen for a few thousand feet in
darkness"
As beam is visible in air, this pointer provides a convenient and practical way
to show and teach celestial geography.
Reason for sale: I purchased two for my local astro club, but now only need one...
I paid £129 + import fees - Yours for £85. Please e-mail me if you'd like a pic.

I am looking to sell it for $350, or best offer. It will come with all the
