Look's a nice setup although i cant say as i have heard of Bosma before?

Thanks for sharing Rob!

James

[AndyMac]

Me neither James. And I can't find any reference to 'Bosma' on my favourite review site, either.

[Rob]

Its a Russian jobby... TS of Germany sell them and they seem to have genuine Russian grade optics. Should a nice be steal if it stays a low price.

Though all should know here!!

[OXO]

Those Russian Scopes do look the Biz Rob i think it's there cheap prices that put people off?

James

[Rob]

Indeed... I did have a rather long chat with the chappy over in Germany before buying the 127 Mak... I seem to think the name lets it down, this stuff originally came off Russian military equipment!!

this stuff originally came off Russian military equipment!!

Does this mean you dont need a torch to use it?

Gaz is sending me the 127 Mak on tuesday looking forward to that :sunny:

James

[Rob]

Oh great stuff!!!... welcome to the 127 club matey!!. You will love it

[OXO]

Thanks Rob, prob still got russ's finger prints on it ..

Ah yes i know Bosma now they do a zoom Microscope that i have had a play with in the past i remember it being very good so if the scope is the same someone will have a nice setup there!cool!

James :sunny:

Teleskop Service in Germany stock the Bosma Mak, so I'd guess they must be at least fairly good. They rarely stock rubbish.

Looks a real nice one Rob.....well spotted. If i had any cash I would be getting a twitchy mouse finger now.

I wonder what the reserve is? Not tempted yourself Rob. Sell the 6" Newt, 5" Mak and the EQ3. The Bosma scope takes all SCT accessories. And that beefed up EQ5 would be a nice upgrade over the EQ3. You should easily get £350 for your bits. I bet the reserve is not that high.

Russ

[Rob]

I was indeed tempted, however I value my life.... wifey would get a little upset if I bashed the credit card!!!

[AndyMac]

Sounds to me like it wouldn't only be the credit card getting bashed!

[Rob]

Gotta find the cash though Andy.... i'm going for promotion at work, so you never know whats on the horizon?

[OXO]

Gotta find the cash though Andy

The M.I.L needs a Escort to the bathroom now and again maybe i could give her your number? she would pay you...

James

[Rob]

Mate... no.

I've just eaten.... please!!!

[GazOC]

£421 and reserve not met. Greedy git!!

I went to £411.....

[Rob]

Nice going Gaz... yep, greedy indeed... Never mind It will be back on ebay tomorrow..

Ahh back to a bid from me for £50

[OXO]

£421 and reserve not met. Greedy git!!

I went to £411.....

Russ

Geez! You guys sell your scopes more often than I change my underpants!

[russ]

It's just too tempting Andy. And to be truthful, buying and selling the kit is the best part of the hobby. :) :)

Fills in the long gaps between clear nights. :? :? :? :? :?

Russ

[OXO]

I think if we had andy's scope there maybe be a pause on the buying front?

James

[AndyMac]

Got to disagree with you there matey. I think using the kit is the best part of the hobby.

Had the same scope for 14 years & wouldn't part with it for anything (grown too attached to it).

However, as I've said here before there's always two sides to every coin (opinion wise)..........mine and the wrong one! (Just kidding).

[AndyMac]

Damn! Dyson butts in with a post just ahead of me!
