For Sale 

Starmaster ELT dob with 11" Zambuto primary (f4.55). 

Purchased second-hand via Astromart in the spring of 2004.  Scope has DSC's that I have never attempted to use.  No sleeks or scratches that I've noticed on the primary but it could use some cleaning.  I've had the scope out only on 6 - 8 occasions, the last time being over a year ago.  It has been stored in my attached garage. 

Accessories: 
 

  • TeleVue 35mm Panoptic (no box, top cap only)
  • TeleVue 15mm Panoptic (no box, both caps)
  • TeleVue Paracorr (both caps, box)
  • TeleVue 9mm Nagler (Taiwan - Type 1?) (plastic screw case and caps)
  • Meade #140 Barlow lens (plastic screw case)
  • SkyAtlas 2000.0 (Tirion & Sinnott) laminated field version
  • Celestron 20 x 80 Binoculars (all caps, no case or strap)
  • Catseye 2” collimation system: sight tube, Cheshire, and autocollimator
  • Howie Glatter 2” holographic laser collimator
All items are in very good to excellent condition cosmetically.   No visible optical flaws. 

Reason for selling - most of my free time is spent on my bicycle.  I started cycling about four years ago and have come to really enjoy it.  Late night observing sessions don't mix well with early morning bike rides.  I will consider any reasonable offers for the equipment listed above. 

Thanks, 

Dave Burnett
