Dear prospective purchasers, whilst our genuine community are generally nice people and we try our best to filter the adverts, please understand that there are scammers out there. If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is. If you contact the purchaser, insist up front on a secure payment method (e.g. bank transfer) to be released on delivery/collection of the goods. For your own safety, do NOT agree to meet somewhere with a large wad of cash. If your engagement with a seller is “fishy”, please inform us immediately so we can take the advert down.

Intes-Micro 152mm F5.9 Mak-Newt

Tripod and extensions
APM or Explore Scientific eyepieces – 20, 13, 9, 5.5 and 3.5 mm
2 x Laser finders and battery rechargers
Celestron 2-inch UHC filter
Orion padded telescope case
Orion laser collimator
Cheshite tube

The telescope is nearly perfectly collimated and I haven’t had to recollimate in the last 7 years. The Intes-Micro 152mm scope has its original shipping papers and documentation from Orion (where it was marketed under the “Argonaut” badge.)

It gives a perfect Airy disc and partial first diffraction ring at 257x in the 3.5mm 100° eyepiece — at that power the Trapezium looks like the Pleiades to the naked eye.

The secondary is only 21% of the primary diameter, which makes it a superb lunar and planetary scope with minimal contrast loss due to secondary shadow.

It is a perfect startup system for a newcomer

Price R 24 000
