Lovely looking scope Mark. I think someone is going to get themselves a bargain scope mate - such a pity that scope weight is also a concern for me or I'd be making the drive up north this evening. It must be breaking your heart selling it.

Sorry to hear you have to sell the scope for health reasons Mark.

That is a really great deal for someone out there, with the primary mirror, focuser and paracorr alone worth well in excess of the asking price for the entire scope.

I really hope it founds a great home.

Cheers,
