For Sale: Vixen ED115 apo + HEQ5pro goto mount + 2" Quartz dielectric diagonal.
This scope is the flagship in the Vixen apochromat range. Made in Japan its a superior example of an ED refractor.
Specs:
D=115mm F=890mm (f/7.7) ED Apochromatic Design
OTA Dia = 125mm Len=940mm Weight 4.4kg
Vixen 7x50 finderscope
Vixen mount rings and dovetail.
Vixen 1.25" flip mirror diagonal supplied.
OTA fitted with a metal carry handle (attached to mount ring)
Bonus GSO 98% reflectivity quartz dielectric 2" diagonal
The scope is unmarked except for some marks on the mount dovetail for obvious reasons, and on the finderscope where the mount locating screws bear against the finders tube (unavoidable).
The HEQ5 pro mount is only a few months old and is in as-new condition.
The mount is not available as a separate item unless the OTA sells first!
The question on most interested peoples mind would be "how does this compare to the cheap 127mm triplet now on the market". There is a comparative test shot and discussion here on

To put all this together new at current dealer prices would cost you $4298 not incl shipping.
I have all original packaging and am asking $2800 for the lot + ship
If you want the OTA + diagonals (everything bar the mount) , price is now $2000. (was $2250)
I'm losing a lot on this deal. My loss is your gain!
