I've got two of the following Surplus Shed 5" objectives: Mounted Telescope Objective 127mm diameter, 700mm FL f/5.5 Item No. L3968 $145 ea. + $5 shipping I was originally toying with the idea of making a large 5" binocular with these, but my Apogee 25x100mm bino is probably about as large as I'm going to be willing to deal with. The extra inch of aperture and a lot more weight will make the 5" something that, while cool, probably wouldn't get used much. So, I'm going to offer one or both for sale. The Jaegers lenses I recently purchased make these redundant as far as single OTA's are concerned. Both are BN and unused, and come with the factory cell. Make me an offer. I'd like to get what I paid for them, especially seeing as Surplus Shed is out-of-stock and doesn't get these often, but I'd cut a deal if someone wanted the pair and will at least entertain any reasonable offer. Also, this is for Joan, are you selling your ortho eyepieces? If so, tell me what you've got as far as brand and focal lengths. Orthos are still the "gold standard" for resolution and while not great for deep-sky, I still prefer them for planetary viewing, where a wide field isn't needed, but the sharpness pays dividends. Let me know, thanks!
Chuck, These objectives sound like the two that I have, except mine are unmounted. I'd be willing to let mine go for $145 for both! I offered them a few months ago and got no takers. Good luck. I hope your sale is successful.

We should probably list them on CN or eBay. Greater exposure. And the time to list them is when SS is out-of-stock, like now. On Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 8:10 AM, Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com>wrote:

In case anyone is interested, I opened another meteorite informational website with a lot of links to other meteorite sites. Check it out if you would, and see if it is all working correctly. I'll update it again soon with more info and photos. http://fallenstarhunters.blogspot.com Thanks! Barrett
