Chip…I took over Tom Hiltons role….”grumpy dad”! ? ?I police names and cross forum posts….the thought of it keeps me awake at nite! ? Hahaha. ?In reality if I could be 1:10th as helpful as Tom I’d be happy. ?

Tom, if you can buy the lot that’ll be a scoop. ?I have 127ED, mine isn’t carbon fibre tube nor Explore scientific (ES) but there are extra things: a Telrad; guide scope; an ES 2” eye piece hanging upside down in main scope focuser; a tray ?load of extra stuff underneath the tripod, hard to see but I saw a large counterweight; the open optics have been capped and taped off?
?
I’d bet there are other eyepieces. ? All the power cords are there and even a longer DEC motor cord.?
Could be a good buy. ?Need a longer scope dovetail plate. ?Mine is much longer ~20inches or so. ? So what I’ve seen is good. ?Maybe just change Ra motor to a new High torque motor and it’ll be a good performer.?
Now I’ve cross forum posted …..bad juju is upon me! ? Haha
?
cheers
