Yeah, agreed. Technical gizmos seem more important than optical accuracy. It doesn't owe me much but better it goes out to get used. If it doesn't sell then it stays here till I maybe 'repurpose' it again. Motorizing it would cost more than it's worth but it might move through the Astro Society. It's a nice scope to use now so it might see some sky now and then, my big grab & go.
I've also got a new almost unused 80 F11, AZ tripod, EP's etc available almost as a give a way. Friend got reimbursed on an insurance claim and it's more than they will ever use. Been sitting boxed in his garage for 10 years or so untouched, it's just spotless. I checked it out and aligned the finder, three decent EP's included as well.
