Celestron C11 OTA with Extras $1400 SOLD
I have to many scopes, so the only way I can get some more.........is to sell some of what I have. This C11 has served me faithfully for about 5 years. It has been mounted on a GM8, a G11 and a GT-ONE without any issues. Great for the faint fuzzies or anything way out there, and surprisingly good planetary viewing with the right eyepieces.
Its aperture is 280mm, its design is a Schmidt-Cassegrain,
with a focal length of 2800mm that gives it an f10 focal ratio. The tube is made
from aluminum and the main body is about 55.5 cm long and 31 cm in diameter. The
paint on the tube has some marks, but nothing major - it still looks good when
shined up. The rear of the tube has the stock focuser (used as a coarse focuser
in conjunction with the WO focuser) and the chrome handle as well.
Included Extras
• The original trunk style locking case (yes, I
have the key)
• William Optics 2 speed SCT focuser in orange
(can't get an orange one anymore)
• Top and bottom rails are full length C11
(Losmandy D size) in orange
• Dust cover has a custom Celestron logo on it
(vinyl decal)
• Stock Celestron Lens Shade/Dew Shield
• RDF (red dot finder)
• A cap to cover the rear of the scope when the WO
focuser is taken off
• Bob's Knobs
I also have a William Optics ZS66SD that was used as a guide scope, in orange
(again, no more of these around and sought after by C11 and C14 owners as is the
focuser) with a case. I also have a Peterson Eyeopener, made for the C11, again
something you can't buy new anymore. There is also a Meade 6.3 Focal
Reducer/Field Flattener and a FeatherTouch SCT 2 Speed Microfocuser. None of
these items will be sold separately until the C11 sells.
Excluded Extras
• Orange ZS66SD w/case
SOLD
• Meade 6.3 Focal Reducer/Field Flattener with bolt case
SOLD
• FeatherTouch 2 speed Micro Focuser
SOLD
None of these items will be sold separately until the
C11 sells.

William Optics ZS66ED Petzval with Soft Carry Case $225 SOLD
I originally got this scope to use as a telephoto lens for my camera, and keep it in the car/truck all the time. The fact that it is a one off Forest Green in colour, never made it happen. It has been used with a glass solar filter a few times and that's it. Because of that, I've never upgraded it to a two speed. I got it when WO had their first ever showroom clearout.
• Like
new ZS66ED Petzval (4 lens)
• One off Forest Green in
colour
• Like new soft carry case
with foam cutouts for scope, eyepieces and diagonal
• 1 speed Crayford focuser
Another scope that gets so little use, it might as well be sold off to help finance the big one. It is a collector item, I will probably regret selling it.........but it needs to go.
Whether you buy it to collect or to use, I'm sure you will cherish it as much as I have.

Sky-Watcher 6" F8 Refractor $350 SOLD
Excellent condition. Tube has been fully flocked. Collimating lens cell.
Stock focuser has been reworked to remove all play. It is very smooth and
easy to adjust. (The picture shows a WO focuser but this has been sold.
Another WO focuser is available from APO at extra cost) Glass is spotless.
This is a very good unit. Star tests very well with round diffraction rings
inside and outside of focus. This unit will resolve M13 cluster to the core
on a night with good seeing.
Great planetary scope and punchy on deep sky objects. This scope needs a
good mount to carry it. Shipping is extra at cost. (scope is in Ontario)

PETERSON ENGINEERING C11 EYEOPENER
$65
SOLD
This item takes the small 1.5" SCT hole
that is normally used on the C11 and allows you to get the full 2" hole that is
available.
Think about it.
If the SCT thread is what you are using to attach your diagonal, the ID of the
inside of the threads is 1.5".
Any 2" eyepiece you use is not getting the full amount of light it deserves.
Same with any camera with big 2" openings and large chips.
The Peterson Eyeopener attaches to the larger 2.5" thread on the back of the
C11.
This then converts it to a standard 2" refractor type push in hole.
There has been much discussion about the 2" hole deal on many different forums.
Google Eyeopener II and the first listing
will take you to the Peterson website, for more information.
My eyeopener is in fair to good shape and uses 3 nylon screws to hold
accessories in the 2" hole.
It comes with a 1.25" adapter that uses 1 steel screw to hold items in place.

the extra length to observe at a comfortable position.

screws.

Lunt Solar Systems LS50FHa
SOLD
• 50mm front Ha filter set,
double stacked
• BF1200 blocking
filter (diagonal)
• ZS66 adapter plate
• Case
ANOTHER PRICE DROP
I have a Lunt Solar Systems LS50FHa double-stack set of matched
front filters. I will consider selling the primary 50mm filter & BF1200 &
adapter plate as a unit, with the matched double stack 50mm unit as an option,
but prefer to sell them together. The adapter plate is for William Optics 66mm
telescopes but it fits other scopes of similar size. Everything is in as-new
condition, having only been used once. They work wonderfully.
Warranty cards have not been filled out and Lunt will honour
the warranty. Original receipt available. Prices include shipping anywhere
in Canada. All items will be shipped in original Lunt padded aluminum cases
inside Lunt cardboard shipping boxes -- essentially as new from factory.
• LS50FHa + BF1200 blocking
filter + case $1025
• Additional double-stack 50mm
filter + case $550
• All of the above
$1525
So you're saving about 30% over new on the package
(note that this is Canadian pricing), plus
getting the $170 adapter plate for free, also saving taxes and shipping, and you
don't need to go on the waiting list.
Payment by Interac Email Money Transfer preferred. For Paypal add 3.5%.

Baader Planetarium 2" Herschel Safety Wedge Solar Prism $425 SOLD
Like new, used very little, mainly on my CR150HD, and on a previously owned ZS105ED.
Keep in mind, this item is only for use on refractors.
I found it to be completely safe, and the last time it was used was at a public viewing of the Mercury transit. Great solar viewing - better than a white light filter. With one of these, you do not need a collection of white light filters for every refractor you have or purchase in the future. This will fit all of them.
