Seben 90mm F13 Mak ******FREE****

[JohnC]

I have a Seben mak that i no longer use. It is without mount or finder but will come with a seben 8-24 Zoom eyepiece.

Whilst not as good as celestron etc it is perfectly respectable on the moon and planets.

I wish this to go to a beginner that is not in a position to buy a scope at the moment.

I will supply this free of charge and will pay postage within the uk.

Please only genuine applicants, i have received much help from the astronomy community and wish to put something back.

I am based in Nottingham and will deliver within reason.

hi john

i think i know of a 10 rear old called Reagan in Birmingham who may like this as he is using the most awful cheap plastic refractor.................i have been looking for a scope for him for ages

i am sure i have a mount i can supply to go with it

let me know if this is agreeable with yourself and i will give you his dads details

steve

[JohnC]

Ok that sounds like a good idea, would be great if you had a mount.

It is not a bad scope at all really. I think it gives a newcommer the wow factor on the moon.

Let me know if you want to proceed. You have first dibs.

Best regards

John

[steve51450]

i will speak to his dad tomorrow and let you know

that's a very kind offer by the way i am sure he will be grateful

steve

[JohnC]

No problem. I still remember my first scope at 9 yrs old.

PM me when you have checked things out.

[TheThing]

What gents! This is a real heartwarming thread. Cheers for posting and please let us know how Reagan gets on if he has the scope.

Failing that a Red Nose bid raffle by new hobby starters could be fun...not big money
