William Optic 110 APO

I bought this scope with a WO DDG focuser on it that just didn't work with imaging, I found, so I fitted it with a large format 2.5 inch CFL focuser with hi-res stepper and MiniController. It's a delight to use now and controls easily and reliably under ASCOM in MacimDl and similar.
I'll attach a Ha image of M8 I did with it 2 nights ago when we actually had some clear sky. It's optics are just lovely.
The focuser comes with the usual 2.5-2"adapter and then 2"-1.25"also.
This is a quality scope with a quality focuser and perfect for serious imaging.
I'll throw up some pics in the morning but you will all know the scope.
The scope comes in a blazing red and very sturdy aluminium case with WO rings. I'll hang onto the Losmandy bar and finder though.
I'll let myself get separated from this great scope for A$2300 plus shipping.
In addition I have used a WO P4 flattener/reducer with this scope with great results. The attached image is with that reducer at .8 giving me an image scale of 2.47 as/p using my SX_H16 - 85 acrminutes a side. These are a terrific combination especuially because you can actually vary the backfocus. They cost about US$290 plus post from OPT - I'll sell it with this scope only - for an additional A$250. The whole shooting match for $2550 plus shipping.
