Have for sale an Equinox 100,i have owned this scope from new
and it is in Mint Condition.
Comes with its own dedicated case and a 1.10 focuser.
This scope offers Flawless Pinsharp Colour free images,and uses
FPL53 glass,the OTA itself is finished in a glorious black lustre.
I can guarantee that this scope will preform as well as (if not better than)
any other 100mm refractor available,and will last a lifetime.
All yours for £550.

Also have a Meade 5000 series 80mm Triplet

And a William Optics Megrez 11 80mm Fluorite for sale.

Cheers......Brian

I don't know much about astronomy being a newbie but I always look to -Older- members for advice and guidance.  Wink

Hi Brian,
            How much do you want for your 80mm refractors? As I'm looking for a guide scope and i think either one of your 800mm scopes would do the job.

Brian,
         Just a quick question, does the meade come with the case and star diagonal?

George

Just back from London with my new scope 8" Meade LX90 UHC and set up in the observatory. Its looks great! Tried out the GPS on the Autostar works a treat. Got a lovely mead lens case with Eight eyepieces plus apo barlow and set of filters with adjustable polarizing filter and light pollution filter and a dew heater. Great bargain. Can't wait for clear night Sad
