PRICE DROP : Vixen R200SS 8" F/4 (SOLD)

[sejanus]

hey guys

well it looks like no interest in my other post of this scope, an eq6 & a 80ED as a big package.

As before, i want to get a big lightbridge so am moving away from my photography orientated setup, at least for a couple of years.

But if I am going to do that I need the Vixen sold first - i.e. the eq6 & 80ed are sure bets to sell easily by themselves.

I bought it on 27th January this year. The tube wth the coma corrector was $1899 and I have the receipt - it was purchased from astro optical in crows nest sydney

It is as new. So to clarify, I am looking to sell my stuff seperately, but want to sell this scope first before I go 'the whole hog'.

Link here to details on scope and some very impressive pictures from it ;

And 2 pics of scope. Please note it has a finderscope included, but it is not in this picture. It comes with the rings as well.

Priced to sell easily at $1000. No offers - postage on top but if you are in sydney you can pickup.

You can call me on 0434 512 561 or private message me.

cheers

Just to clarify, does your asking price of $1300 include the Vixen coma corrector?

[sejanus]

yes it does

[sejanus]

price drop to $1000. this includes coma corrector.

this scope is as new and worth $1900 new.

hurry up, i want a lightbridge :)

That's very tempting Sejanus, not sure if I have the money right now either.

How is it for back focus? Can you use a DSLR at prime focus without further modification?

Cheers,
Rob

[sejanus]

yes it focuses straight out of the box
