ORION TELESCOPES of CREWE UK
250mm (10″) MIRROR
SIDE APERTURE CAN TAKE 1.5″ or 2″ EYE-PIECES (MODEL SIMILAR TO VX10 IN PICTURE)
ON EQUATORIAL MOUNT SAME TYPE AS PICTURE (MY MOUNT COLOUR IS V PALE GREEN HAMMERITE TYPE FINISH)
ON PILLAR MOUNT SAME TYPE AS PICTURE (SAME COLOUR AS MOUNT)
I BOUGHT THIS IN 1992 AND I HAVE HAD MANY HAPPY HOURS WITH IT
I’M SELLING TO UPGRADE FROM THE REFRACTOR I ALSO HAVE, BUT WHICH GETS MORE USE BECAUSE IT IS EASIER FOR ME TO SET UP AND USE
THE MIRROR HAS A VERY SMALL MARK VISIBLE FROM LOOKING DOWN THE TUBE, BUT DOESN’T DETRACT FROM THE VISUAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SCOPE AS FAR AS I CAN TELL (AND IT MAY CLEAN OFF WITH THE RIGHT WIPES BUT I’M NOT PREPARED TO UPSET THE COLLIMATION RIGHT NOW)
THIS TELESCOPE IS CAPABLE OF GIVING GOOD RESOLUTION ON THE PLANETS (RECENTLY SAW THE MOON, JUPITER AND SOME OF IT’S MOONS QUITE CLEARLY) BUT IS BEST SUITED FOR DEEP SPACE WORK e.g. NEBULAE AND CLUSTERS etc.
IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN THE DRIVE MOTOR FOR THESE, SINCE THE MOUNT DESIGN HAS NOT CHANGED.
DEMO QUITE POSSIBLE IF YOU WISH TO SEE BEFORE BUYING
ALTHOUGH I’M PUTTING ON AUCTION, I HAVE A FAIRLY FIRM IDEA OF WHAT I WOULD ACCEPT
I WOULD SAY WINNER COLLECTS BUT THERE MIGHT BE OTHER POSSIBLE ARRANGEMENTS (BUT DON’T KNOW WHAT YET!). NOT SURE ABOUT USING COURIERS FOR THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK
