First off. Reason for sale: Received an e-mail from some guy in the States named Roland....
About the 'scope:
Highly corrected Triplet Apochromat, 120mm, f7.5, 7kg with diagonal.
Its lovely. Optically faultless with arguably the best colour correction of any 110-130 APO. Its NOT built like a tank. Its built like a very expensive telescope!
After I got a duff one and made a fuss, this one was field tested and hand-picked from 3 by the chaps at OPT, so its essentially perfect.
It will handle up to 400X without a whimper. Stunning Lunar, Planetary and DSO views. Starfields are magnificent. Intra/extra startests confirm no CA and 'textbook' diffraction rings.
Comes with extension tubes and caps and all hardware. Original box included.
Extras:
Tak 50mm Finder Bracket ($50ish)
Stellarvue SV2 50mm finderscope (a small Apo in its own right - $200ish)
Stellarvue Deluxe 2"/1.25" Dielectric diagonal (Amazing! $225ish)
Tak Clamshell ($250ish)
So, around $700 worth of accessories included in price.
Try before you buy is encouraged.
Now $4900!! + postage and insurance. Free delivery within 100K. Pick up is fine.
Purchase at original price of $5100 and I'll throw in a 5mm Tak LE ($290 retail)
