This scope was purchased new by myself and only used a few times until i upgraded to an Esprit 120ed.
So up for sale is the complete scope and carry case and all the bits and pieces that came with the kit.
The scope is in pristine unmarked condition and would suit a new buyer.
Please feel free to msg me for anymore info.
$950.00

Hi Paul my understanding is that SW ED80 has been sold in a few configurations for around 15 years.

Can you please be more specific about what is included and its approximate age?

e.g. I think they've sold single and dual speed focusers over the years.

Cheers

Thanks Paul.

An ED100 was sold only a few weeks ago for $750.
https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=199261

Another ED100 has been up for 5 days with no (public) interest at $895 https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=200279

I realise the 100 is a little slower but I'm coming from a 1250 f/10 SCT so I'm used to those larger focal lengths and almost contacted the Brisbane guy despite his "no postage" rule.

The tax man was kind this year so I temporarily have money in the bank for a $750 purchase (plus postage) if that's in your acceptable range.

I usually check forums only once a day and check email notifications even less often, so a lack of response for 24 hours is NOT an indication that I've lost interest :)

Cheer
Rob
