Rustang Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) I'm after a Lunt 50 but I've seen this Lunt 60 today, I'm in contact with the guy selling it but it's pretty obvious it's way to cheap so rings alarm bells already! What do you think? https://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php?view=189910 Edited August 18, 2022 by Rustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Splitter Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Yes I saw that too. Is that the one with no image attached? There have been a few items lately at a good price with no image. You never know, could be legit but always cautious of an ad with no image attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a pressure tuned version, but a tilt tuned version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones at FLO are pressure tuned and are multipurpose (i.e. night and solar) and are clearly much more expensive.

I see, I'm still learning a little about these, it's sold now anyway so someone possibly got a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
