I have decided to change tack in my astronomical pursuits. In order to fund my change, I need to basically offload and start anew.
So, I am selling my beloved LX200 10-inch ACF scope and all accessories, as listed below.
I won't be splitting right now, and would prefer to sell it all as one lot.
- LX200 ACF 10-inch Telescope, comes with Standard Meade Field Tripod for this model. Bought new late in 2010, delivered by Bintel early 2011. Comes with all of the standard fruit, such as stock 8x50 Finderscope, Hand Controller. Focuser has been upgraded to a Feathertouch, and works perfectly.

The Televue eyepieces, along with the 2-inch accessories and hand controller, also come in an aluminium hard case.
