The unit is in mint condition and comes with finder scope, collimating tool, dust caps, mounting rings and dovetail bar.
All reasonable offers will be considered. Freight would be about $40 to $50 to the eastern states.

JJJ, My one of these weighed in at 13.4kgs for OTA, Rings and Dovetail...

I am kicking myself that I sold that scope.. It was a ripper.. and would have been fantastic for mono or narrowband imaging..

Alex
You could be right about the weight, I jumped on the bathroom scales
and got the wife to hand over the OTA, not a real acurate way to do it?
Regards
Mike
