Two 8" Newtonian Reflectors and German Equatorial Mount For Sale
Sold
Sold
German Equatorial Mount was designed and built by Bill Davis. Cradle has small nylon rollers so that the rolled cardboard tube of the reflectors can be rotated with ease. The RA shaft turns at the sidereal rate using an A/C synchronous motor. The mount needs a declination shaft such as a long 2 1/4" pipe with weights attached. The mount is heavy and I can't help lift it due to bad-back. One reflector is F/5 for deep sky objects and the other is F/7.5 with small diagonal mirror for planets. It does need an eyepiece holder and a finder. I ground, polished and figured the F/5 mirror. The F/7.5 mirror was purchased. I'm asking $100 or best offer for everything. Nothing sold separately. See photos below.
Thanks for looking.
