Orion ED80

[royalla]

An Orion 80ED refractor (f/7.5) which is a few years old plus rings, without a diagonal, eyepiece or finder. The Orion 80ED has a fully multi-coated objective doublet made from extra-low-dispersion FPL-53 glass which makes it an "APO". The Orion ED80 features a backlash-free 2" Crayford-style focuser, which accepts both 2" and 1.25" diagonals but the ridged rubber grip rings have decayed, which doesn't stop you from using the focuser the way that you would normally use it. I would prefer for this to be picked up in the Sydney, Australia area or I can deliver it by car within the Sydney, Australia and surrounding area. Otherwise it will have to be posted within Australia. $250
