As new Vixen NA-140SSf OTA for sale. Selling to fund my new Tak obsession. Will include a rare Vixen widefield 20mm EP and 1.25" Orion V-Block filter. Comes standard with 7 x 50 finder, flip mirror, dovetail bar and tube rings. Pictures show it on my EQ6 Pro with a 200mm dovetail bar as the Vixen's dovetail bar has a cut-out which doesn't quite fit in the EQ6's slot. It is just as well suited on the HEQ5 as the OTA only weighs 6.5kg and the Vixen dovetail bar fits it perfectly.
Performance wise it does show a little colour on the moon and planets but is superb for rich field views as it is a Petzval f5.7 lens arrangement. Ideal for Astrophotography. If you have been thinking about buying one of these excellent scopes new then this could be a good opportunity to save some hard earned money. Bought from Astro Optical around Xmas last year. Prefer local pick up in the Lower Blue Mountains west of Sydney but can arrange a courier if required. Has original packing. Genuine offers please, PM's if interested.
