March 2008 AstroNotes

In an effort to prepare the Tower Room for renovations, and due to the lack of storage capacity, NJAA will be selling some of the telescopes we own. The money raised will go into our general funds to pay for improvements. The first telescope ready for sale is described below:

13.1" Coulter Odyssey dobsonian for sale. It comes with an upgraded 2" focuser, a Telrad, handles on the trunions so you can carry the OTA, handles on the rocker box, a vinyl dust cover, an all sky chart on the OTA. Mirror Coatings are in excellent condition. Pick up at the observatory. $500.

Other scopes will be offered also: (2) 6” reflectors, (1) 8” reflector, (1) 10” reflector.

Interested members may want to consider this extra heavy duty Meade RCX tripod pictured bottom right offered at $650. Retail is $1000 from Meade.
