12" F8 ACF Meade LX850

[PeterSEllis]

Hi Guys,
Up for sale is a 12" F8 ACF Meade LX850 (Zero image shift when focusing). I brought the Telescope new and have only used it a hand full of times. It has been gathering dust in my study for a about 4 years, it is in excellent condition with only a few scuff marks. It has Tempest Fans plus small internal fan to break up tube currents.
This telescope is aimed at someone who likes to tinker with Optics, "not a beginner". If you look at the image you will see a small cusp of light at the edge of the two bright stars, I don't know what is causing this, it could be Collimation, Reflection, Optics, I really don't why, hence why it is aimed at an advanced amateur, visually I could not see the cusp of light. Because of that abberation I'm selling it off cheap. They are worth $6875 at Sideral Trading, no low ballers this price is firm. :)

Price $2000 pickup Melbourne or I can take it to the local "Pack and Send" and you will pay the postage, could be a bit of a gamble with Pack and Send.

Are any original packing materials or a case available, and are the losmandy dovetail and both finder scopes included?

Cheers,
Hamish

Hi Hamish,
I don't have the original packaging hence why I would prefer pickup from Melbourne. Both Finders ( Straight through and illuminated Right Angel), Top and Bottom Losmandy Dovetails and Baader Lock are included. There is one person ahead of you, I'm waiting to see if he gets back to me. :)
Cheers
Peter
