Also, do you ship to US?

[sour turtle]

It would be on buyers expense and responsibility

[crystal jay]

How much for shipping?

[crystal jay]

Understood

[sour turtle]

It would be something like £200. Im not really sure.

[crystal jay]

Would you take 250 USD? That's how much 200 pounds is in USD.

[sour turtle]

Im not completely sure how much it’s gonna cost for shipping. I’ll have a look.

[crystal jay]

Sounds good

[woven lily]

Hey

@sour turtle I have a few questions

Firstly

Will it hold on a heritage 130p base?

[sour turtle]

What do you mean? As in the dobsonian mount?

[woven lily]

Zes

Yeah

I have a 5" tabletop dobson

[sour turtle]

not a chance, that mount would break instanly

[woven lily]

ah, alr

Do you have the mount for the telescope though?

[sour turtle]

I could include a EQ3 for £100

[woven lily]

hmm

do you deliver to ukraine?

[sour turtle]

Sure, on your expense and responsibility. Probably gonna be a lot.

[woven jungle]

earlier you said you would include the eq3 for 60 🤨

[sour turtle]

well i don’t really have a price for it and i kind of just quote whatever

[ebon matrix]

Hey, I am wondering are you still selling?

[sour turtle]

sure, but it has been fitted with a motorised focuser now so the price has been bumped to £285.

[woven jungle]

@sour turtle how much to ship to South Carolina in the US?

and if you could send a pic of the focuser that would be great

one more question what is the focal length

[sour turtle]

sorry about the wait for the reply, Its 800mm and can only be used for ap as the mirror has been pushed forward to achieve focus with a DSLR so it will not reach focus with eyepieces. I will send a pic of the focuser when i get home, it’s 1.25” and setup with a nema 17 motor with 20T GT2 teeth. In terms of shipping, I believed it would be quite pricy but it could work, although under the understanding you will be paying for the extra shipping and I am not liable for any damage caused by the shipping.

[woven jungle]

Thank you. Is the focuser 1.25" only or is it 2" with a 2-1.25 adapter?

[sour turtle]

it’s 1.25”

[sour turtle]

Hi, are you still interested?

[ebon matrix]

Yes, my bad of not answering I am still really interested but I am looking at some options as soon as I know I will let you know.

Nvm my other option is sold I will need to see what the shipping price is and about how big it is to store.

If you are still selling ofc

[sour turtle]

shipping to where?

[ebon matrix]

Oh, stupid of me for forgetting to mention close to Alkmaar Holland (prolly ain’t much)

[ebon matrix]

I will have to mention it, I am managing this for a school (there will be people present to help the students) that’s why it’s so useful to know the exact price and storage size (they said that the budget is available) my excuse for the inconvenience. I there are any sudden changes I will notify you as soon as possible. ( to wouldn't be the first time )
