A couple of pics added, not shown but included with the scope is an extension tube (about 35mm) used to bring an eyepiece to focus and a battery back for the primary fan. Also has a telrad base installed on tube (telrad is not supplied). there is also flocking opposite the focuser tube. This scope was used as a visual scope, as I don't image so can't give any feedback on that, but as a visual scope, it was excellent.

Hey

Couple of questions. If this is still available, do you know the focal length of the scope and secondly, I know you said pickup only, but if i could organise a courier, would you be able to send me the weight and rough dimensions? I am looking for a faster scope than my RC6 (FL 1400mm and F9). But a longer focal length than my 80mm (FL 600mm and f6).

Thanks

Damien
