FOR SALE - OPTICAL TECH QUANTUM 8" MAKSUTOV CASSEGRAIN TELESCOPE OTA
This is a solution for those that want something staggeringly rare, massively valuable, and something that will continue to appreciate in value strongly over the next few decades. Plus something with exceptional capability.
This is a Quantum
8 inch Mak Cass. There were 8 units ever made, and that is all.
Of the 8, 5 of them are in fully capable working order and are performing beautifully, as this unit is a prime example.
This unit is in original capability and performance, it is in perfectly capable operating condition. It's optics are staggering, as those that know Quantum will well know.
Why am I selling it. This system hasn't been used for four years since I bought an Officina Stellare Supremo Carbon tube and Sitall optics Mak 250mm, and this I regard as the best Mak that exists, so the Quantum is simply never going to be used.
Sitting in a box for the next few decades isn't what this unit deserves, so I am moving it on.
I have a barely ever used this Quantum 8. The capability of this unit is absolutely staggering, it's optics are staggeringly good, it's simply that I have an Officina Stellare Sitall & Carbon ultra exotica 250mm, what more do I need to say
The system comes with a set of Parallax tube rings, plus 7X50 finder & bracket.
This unit shares many of it's components with the Questar 7, which I have recently sold my existing collection's unit overseas to one of the world's premier telescope collectors.
Performance is as you would expect from Quantum, staggeringly superb !!
It's condition is very good, the only issues are a few surface marks on the outside of the OTA, and that is all. These have absolutely zero effect on mechanical and optical performance, and are merely cosmetic.
Price $ 9,000 plus shipment nationally by courier. Pickup in Melbourne welcome.
Thanks for looking.
