Thats 5mins drive from me! But i don't have £250

[steelfixer]

Hell Jimmy what kind of car have you got ?

If your in Bournemouth, Ringwood is in Essex.

I'll be watching the news tonight for reports of a meteor travaling at low level up the M3. lol

[jimmyjamjoejoe]

I'm in Verwood, just outside Bournemouth, and roughly 5 miles from the town of Ringwood, Dorset. I just kinda assumed, but i don't see a phone number on the ad so you could well be right (you probably are, nothing good ever happens to me ).

[steelfixer]

He he good old England the only place I know that can have two towns with the same name.

the seller has had an account since 2006.......... it could just be he dosent know the value of his stuff

[steelfixer]

not being into filters and stuff Gaz is this cheap then ?

[jimmyjamjoejoe]

Well, taking a look at truteks website, this is ridiculously cheap. You're talking at least double that price just for the wheel, let alone the filters, adapters, motors etc.

[garethmob]

well i just did a google :

Astronomik filters @ Modern Astronomy

the S11 CCD -HA CCD -O111 came to £290 HBeta £83 CLS about £60 no idea about the rest, and i would imagine the filterwheel would be that on top again

Careful, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

There are exceptions of course, but not many .

********* I take KH's point.

Makes me glad I am not into serious photography my bank manager would kill me.

That is some seriously expensive kit.

I love a bargain, very little of my kit was bought new.

But a 75% plus discount? That kit it worth over £800 I would of thought ...

(Edit) Well someone looks to of purchased it, I hope I'm just being over paranoid as that is a real steal *ahem*

[GJBC]

Is he looking for something else! or has already purchased their replacements

and he knows how to use it as well take a look here the web sit of the seller Welcome puts most of us into the shade.
