szymon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well, that's my visual observing sorted :-). Just won an eBay bid on a 12" revelation Dobsonian...for £210. Seems like a good price to me?Still plan to buy a scope on an Eq mount for astrophotography (current plan is for a 200p OTA on a mount with computer control), but for now I'm over the moon at getting a load of aperture for little money - £18/inch is pretty darned good!It's down in Southampton so will have to drive down to collect, but it's much closer than most of the other things I have enquired about or bid upon!*happy*-simonSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 great choice and price! I drove to Southampton once to collect a scope from Manchester. the petrol cost me nearly half the price of the scope but it was worth it as it was a bargain at £112 and a rather rare 6" f11 dobsonian which I still have a few years later and won't part with it.

szymon Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Bonus -- the guy works in Croydon and is going to bring it with him to work on Tuesday, so I don't even need to drive far to collect, just south across the river :-)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FenlandPaul Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Well done! I'd been watching the same scope but in the end getting down to Southampton to pick it up in the near future just wasn't going to happen. It looks like a good deal to me. Enjoy it, and clear skies!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
