Hi folks,
The 16" Meade Lightbridge reflecting telescope, property of the IAA, is being offered for sale to any IAA member interested in acquiring this superb large aperture visual instrument. As some of you will have already viewed through this telescope, you will have some idea of what its capable of showing. The IAA has been using this scope for our public outreach events where it always draws the biggest crowds, but it has been decided to scale down to a more portable setup for mobile outreach work.
The scope is in excellent overall condition with the exception of the main mirror coatings, which will need re-aluminised in the near future. The IAA has owned this telescope from new. Accessories include Bobs Knobs, an Astrozap shroud, a 26mm 2" eyepiece, a red dot finder, a truss pole bag and a homemade wheel base to allow the assembled scope to move around. The scope breaks down into easily transportable pieces for mobile use etc
This is the first listed ad' for this telescope, and is being offered firstly to IAA members at a special discounted price of £450 in its current condition. This is an exceptional price for such a large aperture telescope. Estimated cost of re-aluminising would be around £150, which will bring the scope back to almost new condition. The current retail price for this scope is £2000!
Genuine enquires only to David Stewart on 07808736963
Clear skies!
