Telescope Service 'clone' 127 f6.5 refractor ending soon on Ebay

[russ]

Been watching this for a few days now. Doesn't have long to run now and the price is still only £50. These are better than the Skywatcher Startravel series, would make a cracking widefield/deepsky scope.

Would bid myself if i wasn't drowning in a sea of refractors right now.

Daz,

As you know I'm more than happy with mine, the review that is linked to on Ebay pretty much sums up my experience of the scope. I also looked at the baffling as it looked suspect to me as well but I don't know how to test for the stopping down mentioned.

Go on daz when the cuts and brouses heal you wont regret it  . The only quibbles I ever had about mine was the mount not the scope.

Id Fancy the F7 But I really need some new eye pieces so I'm afraid I will have to give it a miss, oh well.

As you guys are already looking at these. I'll wait till she lists again

[GazOC]

I'm don't think that first scope is a Teleskop Service clone, their scopes are f6.5 the Ebay scopes are advertised as f 5.5.

[GazOC]

Both scopes went for less than £85, I can't speak for the f 5.5 scope, but someones got a right bargain on the f9.4!!!

Hope the fact you didn't bid on the scope doesn't mean your wife has taken the law into her own hands....?

Ha, I didn't notice that. Even with postage, thats £200 well spent - they'll compliment each other well.

:lol: No, no. Still here (just minor wounds). Decided against actually - couldn't really justify it just after Crimbo. Gutting really cos they were a bargain
