SAXON 8" MAKSUTOV CASSEGRAIN with motor focuser and extras(further price reduction)

i have a saxon 8" maksutov cassegrain in excellent condition.(blue .new version) was going to sell this earlier and had a change of plan. i am now ready to sell this.
it has a 2" crayford style focuser with a motor focuser and controller.

i am selling it with-

- tube rings and vixen dovetail
-dew shield (home made),
-illuminated 9x50 finder scope( home made illumination with red leds which work very well)
-2" diagonal
-8" bahtinov mask

the whole setup comes in a padded plastic case.

this really is an excellent scope and with the motor focuser perfect focus is easy to find.

asking $550 plus postage.

thank you for the offer, however i don't want to go larger than 8" as it needs to sit on a heq5 mount, and at 8" it is already pushing it.
