Hi everyone,
Well after having owned this baby for quite some time, and not once getting to fire an image through it, Its time to sell up.....
GSO 8" F/8 RC - Has losmandy and vixen dovetails, all the focuser spacers, the original focuser is included as is an upgraded moonlite with robofocus motor, controller, hand controller and all required cables to attach the focuser a computer for complete auto-focus.
the scope and optics are in great condition, there is the normal amount of dust you'd expect from an open tube reflector, however it would not be anywhere near enough to degrade images. Collimation is right on the money and it holds its collimation very well in transit.
Whilst I have not had a chance to get any images through the scope, the previous owner took some real cracker images with this scope... my favorite of which being THIS (http://3247463181265050942-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/antipodeanastrophotography/Home/galactic-objects/emmission-and-reflection-nebulae/EtaCMosaicLRGB4.jpg?attachauth=ANoY 7cpQFEiVOMp7fDg1WM2Q5eEA9TEuJOJRFhK GBfmimAwfvXB2ZULvgsINeibOb-H5vt0Q_XCAnHBZo4yXoiZ7rwL8GylpsBB2g AkDLvcMzYRswT5UgiCm8EDZikG9UZNk0tWB _3_9nyGj37nSgLa6pwFAmMf0_WfxjdSlOmy kumeBWD012myekvK8XI5bcibPAAxW2GysWl RxSM0m7e6FWxGrzAc3V0dfGotajNxwvgzP1 jC24yrT0opYQQl3C3IhvkHJ0A-y4q5rDMgvVjH4U5NzF4ul_eJ5R5faRnUuK5 RHsW-tbks%3D&attredirects=0) image.
I have the original box and all the original padding so I'm happy to ship the scope anywhere within Australia..
Price - $1400 posted anywhere within Aus..

Alex.
