I have decided to part with my 4 month old Skywatcher Black Diamond ED80 semi-apochromatic refractor. As many will know, this is a great wide field scope, and is great for astrophotography.

What's included: the scope itself in FLAWLESS condition, objective cap, diagonal, rings and bar. Straight through finderscope included. Will include an eyepiece (Orion brand, likely a 10mm or so). Comes with the original aluminium case.

Only small caveat - I used it as a guidescope, and once rotated the tube in the rings (plastic screws) - they scratched and ploughed the data sticker on the tube (that tells you focal length etc), so I removed it entirely. No detraction at all (I usually remove them anyway!)

Price NEW is $995.

Selling for $580 INCLUDING postage within Australia.

POSTAGE ADDITIONAL

Can do pictures, but seen one, seen them all :) Here's a generic one:

Only reason for selling is I now have my dream team (Vixen refractor and astrograph), and she's sitting unused. NO OTHER REASON AT ALL.

Drop to $720 INCLUDING POSTAGE within Australia (Perth extra)

The scope is flawless (the data sticker was the only "sacrifice" - the paint was NOT affected at all). SPOTLESS objective. This is the newer type with the dual-speed Crayford etc, not the older style.

It's just a generic pic of the scope. Nothing earth shatteringly important. It's just a Black Diamond ED80 :)

Here it is:
