Meade Telescope Lightbridge 10" f/5 Truss Tube Dobsonian

Meade on-line catalog: http://www.meade.com/lightbridge/index.html

Scope is 3 1/2 years old and in excellent condition. Recent and nagging back problems coupled with multiple stairs in/out of my house are prompting me exclusively into the grab-n-go refractor end of the hobby. Therefore, this scope is used sparingly (5 or 6 times so far in 2009).

• Diffraction Limited Optics (Bk7 optical glass) with Meade Optical Coatings

• 2" Crayford-Style Machined Aluminum Focuser – Upgraded with a 2 speed Crayford ($104 value)!

• Built-In Primary Mirror Cooling Fan

• Extras/upgrades not included in a new Lightbridge package:

• Astrozap light shroud ($69 value)


• Red dot finder replaced with Rigel QuickFinder Compact Reflex sight ($42 value)


• 4 Astrozap soft tube covers ($72 value)


• 4 ½ lbs magnetic tube weights ($44 value) for those heavy space walk eyepieces


• Astrozap truss tube carrying case ($25 value)


• Sheet of Ebony Star laminate added to mount turn table for silky smooth azimuth motion


• Truss tubes painted with flat back paint and tube is flocked for optimum stray light control


• Bob’s Knobs ($51 value) and an Anatres laser collimator ($44 value) included for easy collimation

• No eyepiece is included in deal but I will include your choice of a Sterling Plossl (15mm, 20mm, or 25mm) for an extra $30 if you need an eyepiece.

10% discount to CAAS, AOAS, RRAC, RVAS, the Arkansas Astronomy Yahoo group or IDA members. Can be picked up at my home in Little Rock, delivered to the CAAS Christmas party on Monday, 14 December or within 100 miles of Little Rock on either Saturday – Sunday, 12 – 13 December. If there is no local interest I plan to list on Astromart but not until after Christmas.

Clear and Happy Holiday skies!!
