I bought this scope a while back and it has done sterling service. I still have the three speed crayford it came with but I replaced it with a spunky Moonlite focuser with DC motor control (can be run via ASCOM also).
It is a beaut of a triplet with f6 native.
It's an 80mm. I have used it with a hotech flattener.
The scope is a hefty 6.6lbs plus the focuser so you need a good mount.
The Moonlite has two dovetail brackets so you can do what I did and mount a finderscope and a mini guider.
It's finished in white and blue with an extendable dew shield.
The Moonlite cost me over $400 when I bought it, the scope I bought from Bintel about four years ago and it cost me quite a bundle.
I reckon I would sell it it for about $900 including all the usual stuff.
Would knock it down to $850 plus a copy of "Local Hero" (the film not the sound track)
Pictures soon.
