The Liverpool Astronomical Society

Hi everybody have just inherited this scope (8" 200x New-wise Newtonian catadioptric) i have no idea what the hell to do with it can anybody help with advice as i want to sell it,  cheers paul, also there is a 30mm 2" superview eyepiece, i hope this makes sense to somebody out there

Hi David thankyou very much for all your help i followed the link you sent, and yes it looks like the same scope, the one i have is yellow, tube only, and without what looks like a hood.

i would like to take you up on the offer of bringing the scope down to your club to have it checked out.

many thanks again david

 Hi Paul, I have just be informed that I am at an award presentation for my son this coming Wednesday and will not be able to get up to the observatory. You will made welcome by the group if you still wish to go there. They are a friendly down to earth gang and will be able to answer all your questions about life, the universe and everything. 
With regards to your telescope, there is a review on page 75 in the June issue of Astronomy Now (available at all good news shops)  which gives it a good report. The price, >£I000, I believe, is with a mount (stand). The eyepiece that you mentioned is priced in the region of £50.
These prices are for brand new and in perfect condition.
See http://www.greenwich-observatory.co.uk/acatalog/2__Eyepieces.html
for an example.
