That does look good. Why is everything always so far away. lol

That was the going price for them a year and a half or so ago. Now since Covid and lack of equipment etc, prices have gone up quite considerably for these popular scopes.

sold for 475. a good price for sure inc the mount, case, etc.

someone got a bargain

£475 including the mount is not bad, but there's no mention of the mount in the items for sale.

It said "wooden equatorial mount" when I looked I think.

[michael8554]

Yes it has a wooden tripod.

Maybe a poor description of the mount by a non-astro seller.

But says "too big for me", suspicious.

That would be interesting to see, but perhaps no more successful than the wooden Cyberman.
Unless it was made by John Harrison.
