Great scope, selling due to upgrade.
$350
Never had a problem with this scope holding collimation (I collimated it twice in 1 year that I used it). I'm the second owner (the first owner bought it about 3 years ago but kept it in storage while in hospital). Has been kept in a dust proof container with dehumidifier when not used. Comes with Bahtinov mask.
List of modifications:
*flocked inside of OTA
*painted back and sides of secondary with chalkboard paint
*New 2" adapter on drawtube with inner copper ring and two securing screws to reduce tilt
*baffle on back of mirror cell to block stray light
*Lacerta dual speed microfocuser upgrade
*Cut the focus tube so that it didn't protrude in the light path when used with a CC and 55mm backfocus.
If I was going to keep it about the only other thing I would do would be to make an aperture or mirror mask. Can post at buyers expense.
*Modified for atstrophotography, will need a 30mm extension piece for visual use.
Included image of the Lagoon nebula is a Sharpcap livestack image with no post-processing, taken with a 0.75 x reducer.
