FOR SALE - RARE & HARD TO FIND
CELESTRON SP-C102F REFRACTOR
I have two of these systems, and simply do not use the 2nd unit, so I am selling it.
These are exceptional.
It is a true apochromatic refractor, and beats the performance of my Vixen FL102's that I own.
For those that know these units they will be very well aware how very highly regarded they are.
They are the 102mm aperture f8.8 f900mm Fluorite optic that was made in modest volume by Vixen, and marketed under the Celestron banner. These are regarded globally as superior to the much more common Vixen 102mm f9 Fluorite refractors, which themselves are most highly valued and very highly sought after.
I am offering this to an Australian audience first to see if there is someone here in our fair country that wants it, before moving on to an overseas webpage to sell it (where it will go very quickly), and where these systems usually sell for usually around the US$ 1750 or a bit more mark.
Optics and mechanicals are in excellent condition. The tube has a few minor marks on it from use, as this telescope has been used, and deserves to be used. Optical quality is sublime, absolutely beautiful, crisp, pin sharp and massive detail, but this is what you expect from something that is as highly regarded as this unit.
Supply includes OTA, tube rings and standard Vixen type dovetail.
Units mounts up the standard 1.25 inch focuser, but I can change it over to a Crayford 2 inch with 1.25 inch adaptor if someone wants to do so (extra cost).
Units fits a standard Vixen, Skywatcher, Celestron, Saxon finderscope dovetail bracket to attach your own finderscope (or I can add one if you wish). Pic of the focuser end shows the standard cutout with locating screw fitted to fit your finderscope bracket.
Price $ 2,200
Plus shipment nationally (or internationally) at cost.
Thanks for looking.
