For Sale - Orion SkyQuest XT12 IntelliScope f/4.9 Dobsonian for sale for the $1500 that I paid for it. It has an attractive bronze-coloured metal tube, 2-inch focuser, and a 9x50 correct image, right angle finder. The mirror seems to be good quality, but I have never tested it on planets. It is supposed to be a computerized push-to telescope, but it didn't come with any instructions and I frankly don't know whether that function works since it is not needed for a Dobsonian.
  I am working through the Herschel 2500 list of objects discovered by William Herschel and objects close to the north celestial pole are very difficult to access with the German Equatorial Mount that my 16-inch sits on. So I used the Orion 12-inch Dob to get all of the H2500 objects north of declination 72. Having done so, I no longer need the 12-inch.
  The scope is in like-new condition -- there are no scratches on the paint. The scope is located south of Penticton. I no longer have a vehicle that can transport it. Pick it up for a bank certified cheque for $1,500.  2-inch 40mm Meade Series 5000 60-degree Plossl that works well on this scope: $150. Email Alan Whitman at alandouglaswhitman@gmail.com
