Lunt 152mm DS for sale in Oz

Post by Merlin66 »

I was surprised to see a Lunt 152mm DS for sale in Oz.
I thought this might be one of the instruments Stephen brought over for outreach a couple of years ago???

Definitely tempting Ken but I have trouble with the seeing with my 150 mod on all but the best days.

It's had a glorious life as an outreach telescope and only ever used visually. It is big enough to terrify small children, and gives very bright immersive solar images......

The whole package includes 18mm blocking filter diagonal, Lunt zoom eyepiece, mounting ring, Lunt 12" dovetail, dust caps, aluminium finished hard case with custom foam lining, CGEM equatorial mount with 15kg of ballast, power pack and a no name 28mm 2" eyepiece (Possibly Skywatcher?) that happens to give a lovely low power view.
Yours for AU$12,500 plus delivery
