Thank you Neil, Jeremy and Michael. That is a great help.

Funnily enough Jeremy I think the one you handled is probably the one I have! I bought it in late 2003 from memory.

I will put out some more feelers and really appreciate all the ideas.

Regards, John

Hi

I have just joined the forum and have v little experience in all matters astronomy. Many years ago I bought a beautiful Pentax 800mm 125 SDP (with a Losmandy GM8 & tripod). It has been way to big to use and I regret upgrading from a much smaller one that I could take away on holidays etc.

I don't believe these are sold any more but I am wondering if anyone has any idea on the rough value of the scope (perfect condition and with virtually no use) or the whole set up and advice on trying to sell it? I live in Brisbane, Australia.

Thanks.

John
