Note: this scope will ship from the USA, which may be prohibitive to a sale. However, selling without the Scopeguard case will substantially reduce the shipping cost, and perhaps someone traveling to the states can pick it up.

I’ve decided to sell my Takahashi Epsilon Ɛ-180. The scope and optics are in good cosmetic and optical shape. There are a few minor tool marks around the collimation screws but otherwise no issues. The primary mirror is centered with a Catseye Hotspot.

I upgraded the stock focuser (included) with an excellent Optec TCF-Leo focuser. With the included necessary adapters, this is a $2000 upgrade.

The scope will come with the Takahashi corrector, rings and top plate, front cover, Scopeguard case, BT Technologies dovetail bar (has a blemish but is super solid), Astrozap dew shield and cap with focus mask, Precise Parts Tak corrector to M48 adapter, the Takahashi collimation tools, an M68x1 male to M54x0.75 female and a M54x0.75 male to 2" compression ring adapter (these allow you to use the scope visually with 2" eyepieces.)

$6200 plus shipping. Prices in AUD.
