Cheap scope for camping

[tarqs101]

Hi

Just picked up this scope for when we go camping in Devon.

Would love to take my larger 102 frac but we do not have the space in the car for it and it's mount and tripod along with the whole family.

So...

Got this off ebay for £25!!

Not expecting brilliant optics but it is ultra portable with it's own case and great value. Being a Celestron it should cope quite well for widefield viewing!!

Nice one Gavin... looks like a nice little scope. Worth having a look at the maplin flight cases... it'll fit in there nicely, my ST80 clone does. Post up your first light report on it

Thats cool.

I might even try to get one. I don't suppose it will accept 2" eyepieces.

Will do John. The Maplin cases look proper safe and secure.

Will let you know how it copes under a (hopefully) clear sky!!

Kef9, I think it is only 1.25" EP's.

But, pleased with the purchase.

I would be too. Do they have anymore or was it a one off?

[tarqs101]

I'm not sure,

It was off a shop seller, it is ex-display.
