Skywatcher ED80 With 2" Moonlite Focuser
This classic scope is about three years old, I've owned it most of that time, it in excellent condition. I upgraded to the beautiful MoonLite Focuser middle of last year and it has worked extremely well with my ZWO Electronic AutoFocuser; would work equally well with something like the Pegasus Focus Cube. This scope has been a very loyal companion, I've been very happy with the images I've taken with it, and how much it has taught me.
This scope is a fantastic entry into astro imaging, works really well with a DSLR, OSC or a mono camera in NB. Short focal length makes guiding a breeze for those new to imaging.

Glass is in great condition, no scratches, dust or fungus. Small scratch on the OTA near the attach point of the focuser is the only blemish.
Included:-
ED80 OTA - Aperture 80mm FL600mm, F7.5
Moonlite 2" Focuser with 2.5" travel drawtube, compression ring and 1.25" Adapter
Tube Rings
Orion Field Flattener (for 400-800mm FL scopes)
Orion 0.8x Reducer/Flattener - I use this most commonly, for imaging at F6
Finder Scope (unused)
2" Mirror Diagonal
2" 28mm Skywatcher long eye relief eyepiece. This is EXCELLENT
Padded Aluminium Case
For the lucky buyer I will also supply the famously-awful original SkyWatcher focuser. Would make an excellent ornament at the bottom of your pool or as a pot for growing Basil seedlings. Its main purpose for astronomy would be to throw at a streetlight*.
Delivery definitely preferred, Samford Valley, Brisbane.
Postage by arrangement.
$900. Will not separate items.
*civil disobedience neither condoned or recommended, though in this case understandable. These are strange times.
