You can read reviews of this scope and how good it is, all over the web.
They're becoming very sought-after. Recently cleaned and collimated at Bintel, Melbourne.
Easily the equivalent of an FS102 or TV102 and IMO way better than SW 100 ED. Lens POSSIBLY by Vixen, certainly better than the norm. No CA / SA on anything that I can detect. Collimateable lens cell is massive and cool-down times are seconds rather than minutes.
An excellent all-rounder (f9.2 - reducers avail.), but is particularly good on planets, globs and brighter nebulae
Its also the perfect day-time, high-mag scope. (I use it to check the wire on fences 5 km away!). Its about 6 - 8 years old, and in great shape optically and cosmetically (but PM me for nit-picks).
Selling to fund purchase of Astrograph as I've been bitten by the AP mozzie.
Supplied with 8x50 RACI finder, Bintel 1/10 wave quartz diagonal and Vixen-style rings and mounting plate.
OIRO $800. Price includes regular post. Will split with buyer for express or courier.
Try before you buy OK. 7 day money-back applies.
Thanks for looking.

PS: Please check my add under "WANTED". I need a scope for a friend.
