    Hi guys. Well I’ve finally done it.. I’ve just ordered my Esprit 120mm, ZWO ASI1600MM pro kit, including Nb filter set, guiding set up and Eagle3 to run it all. I’m jumping straight into the deep end, coming from soley visual astronomy thus far!!

    I am now officially broke and will consider selling a kidney for reasonable offers! But seriously, I am going to sell my nexstar 8se with some accessories to go with it. The scope and computerised mount is in great condition with only a few tiny surface scratches on the scope and dove bar.

    I’m throwing in an astrozap Dew heater and control, celestron eye piece and filter set in case, f/6.3 focal reducer and unused EOS ring and T adaptor. Thought I would offer here for reasonable offers before listing on Trademe and FB Astro pages??

    thanks

    Thanks Josh. Yes, straight into the deep end.. but looking forward to the practical after what seems years of theory lol. No doubt I’ll be calling on the more experienced, like your good self, to offer guidance from time to time 🙂

    Everyone’s always eager to help! The Esprit’s are meant to be amazing so I’ll be itching to see it
