Vixen SP102M on E.Bay

[John]

This is an interesting scope:

Telescope Bresser 102 Refractor with Vixen Skysensor 2 on eBay (end time 24-Nov-10 19:40:09 GMT)

Yes, I know it says Bresser, but I used to own one of these a while back (it might have been this one in fact !) and, apart from the black colour scheme, it is identical to the excellent Vixen SP102M F/9.8 achromatic refractors that were justly popular (and expensive !) in the 1980,s - 1990's.

The mount is the renowned Vixen Super Polaris and this one is driven on both axis and comes with the Skysensor 2000 "GOTO" handset.

I've no connection with the sale but it didn't get any offers 1st time around (probably because the Vixen link is not mentioned and the photos are none too clear) so might be one worth watching if you are interested in this sort of thing.
