A six inch reflector I started to build over thirty years ago using instructions from the book “Handbook for telescope making” by N.E. Howard. The basic unit was constructed and the mirror ground and silvered but the mounting was never completed. An ideal project for someone to finish or even a set of spares which are not easy to obtain. No eyepieces but unit contains:

Ground six inch silvered mirror

Cast mount for the mirror

Diagonal mirror and spider (a bought unit)

Adjustable sleeve for the eyepiece

Plastic casing with access hole cut

Caps for mirror end, and diagonal

I will include the book in this sale

Actual dimensions of casing 21 cm diameter and 128 cm long

I regard selling this on eBay as a form of recycling as the parts which make up this item are useful to the enthusiast. This item is too big for the couriers I use so if you want it as seen then you need to collect or arrange your own courier. There are two alternatives to this plan;

1. I could cut about 10cm off the top and then this is within the myHermes size limit and could courier for around 9. I would detach the eyepiece slide and fix inside the body of the telescope, surrounded by bubblewrap.

OR

2. I could dismantle the whole unit and then box up the glass reflector, the mount, the diagonal and its spider, and the eyepiece slide adjuster and box these up for sending by courier. The tube is scrapped. We might then be within the 7 limit.
