[Daniel-K]

after missing the SW ED80 from FLO before i did abit of searching and have just bagged one for £277 after the euro conversion so i just need to find a nice alt az mount for it now i got it from teleskope service ive use them before normally quite quick on the shipping too.

[reddoss]

That's cheap, is it new or re-conditioned?

[Stephen]

They are new but were shipped out with the wrong (by wrong I mean single speed crayford) focuser and no accessories bar the finder.

I have one of them too

[Daniel-K]

If you don't have one, you're going to need a diagonal for visual use.

Other than that you should be fine.

[Daniel-K]

yeah thats all i need been looking for a 2inch one 2nd hand looks like im going to have to fork out for one

[Stephen]

There's been a few on ABS over the past couple of weeks, do a search and / or hold on a bit longer if you really want a S/H one

A few 2" diagonals on ABS at moment - they tend to go from 35-70ish depending if you want a dialectic or not.

How much does the shipping end up being to the UK? They do seem like a good deal.

[Daniel-K]

12 euros basic or 20 euros german post

With the Euro falling against the pound it may just pay to hang on for a while ,to see if it falls any further.

[Daniel-K]

saying that if it does fall it may be a good time to buy a triplet from TS
