Hi all, I bought this EP of Icetrades a coupe of years ago and it has been my main EP since then for nebulae and other extended objects. It works quite nicely in my C925 and kept me from buying a 31mm Nagler at the time, for which my bank balance is thankful. About it's only performance issue in my scope is a little field curvature as the last 15% of the FOV or so is slightly out of focus in my scope.

In the chase for the greatest TFOV I could manage I recently bought a 30mm Explore Scientific 82 degree EP off another IIS'er and this EP has not come out of the box since so it is time for it to go to a new home.

It has a couple of cosmetic blemishes, the only significant one being the nick shown on the top of the barrel, it may have been dropped at some point in it's life. It comes with the original box and end caps. I am looking for $170 posted anywhere in Australia.

Best reply here in the thread or by PM if you prefer.

Thanks

Paul.

I should add two things, firstly the iphone takes a very unflattering photo, the EP is nothing like as dusty as the pictures make it look. It is quite clean actually.

Secondly seeing they seem to have been made in either China or Japan over the years, this is a Chinese made one.
