Sadly, our observatory in southern Spain was badly damaged in the recent storms and we have had to remove the equipment. As a result we have a 16 inch GSO Richey available plus an EQ8-R pro mount. We are prepared to give the GSO, which is a brilliant scope (see images on my observers page on this site) to anyone prepared to collect it from our home near Albondon in southern Spain. We’d like something close to £1,000 for the mount, which comes complete with 5 x 10kg weights and maybe also a Lakeside focuser, currently still attached. Expressions of interest to paul@paulandliz.org. You can see the whole thing at https://earthlingsuk.org/about
Sorry to hear about this. I hope the kit finds new worthy homes.
Likewise.
Already mailed Paul. Albondon is relatively close to La Palma (close by UK standards anyway, though still a 2-day journey in each direction) and although shipping would not be cheap, it should not to be too expensive — especially if I rent a van and drive/ferry over there and back myself.
A vacant concrete pad at Tacande Observatory already has power and ethernet laid on. It is big enough to hold a 4m diameter dome.
Paul (another one).
