Hey guys!
Well, I'll admit to it. Got a bit crazy with my spending and bought quite a few things, only now to realise time <<< hobbies. So I'm going to slowly start selling off half my gear, and I'm starting with my beloved 120ST :) It's a 120mm f/5 Achro Refractor.
It's a great scope and offers some pretty sharp views (To my eyes atleast). I was a bit weary of how bad CA would be on Achro refractors, but I was honestly surprised how little there really was. All the stars are really sharp, and I loved how light it was (compared to all my other scopes atleast). Its superb for visual use and could definitely be used as a guidescope.
There are some scratches and what not on the surface which I'm more than happy to show in the pics. Optically it is perfect with not a single scratch or blemish or the like (Aside from a few pesky dust particles in the pic). Strangely enough, the crayford on this seems smoother than on my 80ED!!
It also comes with the tube rings, dovetail, 2" to 1.25" adaptor and covers. Brand new was $600, I'm looking for $220 firm and would prefer local pickup though am happy to ship at buyers expense :) I am located near Glen Waverly in VIC. PM if your interested!
I also have an Orion Stratus 17mm & TMB Series II 5mm in the EP section for $50 if your interested in that too ;)
Clear Skies!
