Still need more cash for my new Buisness so the ed80 is to go...
*Skywatcher ED80 gold tube
*2.5" moonlite focuser with high resolution stepper motor
*Skywatcher 0.85x reducer/corrector for ED80
*Genuine moonlite adaptors: moonlite to synta thread for threaded attachment of 0.85x reducer plus moonlite to 2" & 1.25" eyepiece adapters.
*Two Losmandy mount adapters. So not only can this scope be mounted on it's own, but it cam also be mounted on top of another scope to be used as a guider or secondary imager.

Front element could probably do with a clean but I've used it with excellent results as is so I never saw the need to clean it.

$1050. I would consider posting but all costs would be covered by the buyer, PayPal fees would be extra.

Some of my results with this scope:

Hi Tim,
Does the flange rotate and do you still have the m48 extension for the stf8300/fw?
Regards
Rod

yes and yes.

And as for the question you sent me "Does it have fpl53 glass?" I have found it hard to find a definitive answer for that question in the past. Someone else here might know more than me, but from my research as far as I can tell the glass is exactly the same as the current ed80 which does have fpl53 and a schott element.

Sorry to ask so many questions but here is the last one - does it have the original focuser?
Cheers
