I am selling my GSO RC08, f8, steel tube white model, which is about 18months old. It is collimated. It comes with top and bottom vixen rails, and the optional focuser collimation ring (Value $100). I installed a Moonlight RC focuser and adaptor at a cost of over $600 AUD, but the stock GSO focuser is also available. It also comes with a Kendrick Secondary Heater, which uses copper tape conductors to prevent diffraction spike bulges on the secondary vanes.
Ideal for astrophotography - due to virtually coma-free imaging!
True Ritchey-Chretien Cassegrain-type optics produce super flat field!
Flatter image compared to SCT and aplanatic/corrected SCT designs
Hyperbolic quartz primary and secondary mirrors with 96% reflectivity enhanced aluminium coating
Laser etched focuser drawtube setting scale
Crayford style large 2" 10:1 microfocuser
RC 8",has long 50mm drawtube travel (not 40mm)
One 50mm and two 25mm focal extenders included
These stock scopes sell for $900 new from Andrews, $999 from Bintel. Add the Collimation Ring $100, the secondaey heater $110, and the Moonlight Focuser & RC adaptor $600, your looking at $1700 of value to buy new ($1100 with the stock focuser).
I am offering my RC08 here for $650 with the stock focuser and the collimation ring and secondary heater, a real bargain for someone looking for long focal length RC capability.
If you would like the Moonlight focuser and adaptor with the scope packge then add $450 to the above price (or $1100 all together).
I am prepared to sell the Moonlight and Adaptor separately but the price of the focuser out of the package would be $500 ( a bargain itself if you consider the adaptor and shipping costs to source from the US).
I have the original shipping box and can arrange delivery via courier to anywhere in Australia, at the buyers additional cost. I will arrange the courier if you provide post code info I can quote the cost. Local pickup is of course available if feasible.
I have attached some photos below, and here is a link to an image taken with this scope:
