The Luck of the Irish

[Naz]

stays with me again.

As some of you may be aware, I have been waiting for my new scope for what seems like ages. Well it finally arrived, I spotted it on Astro Buy & Sell, emailed the seller asking for details, he replied quickly with photo, as the one he posted didn't load. it was one that I had watched on ebay, that didn't reach the reserve, stopped at about £115, so he had put on buy & sell at £120, agreed to deal including p&p.

Didn't think it was a bad price for a Startravel 120 inc alt / az mount and ep's. OK the mount is not ideal, but the optics were worth it. I will see about mounting it on my existing eq for now, and when I go for my next scope, try and find one with a least an EQ5.

The condition is A1, with just a slight scuff about 1 inch long, on the tube, not even through the paint.

So that's the sky bu**ered here for at least the next two weeks.
