reduced $730ono ,+ pics ,8" F4 skywatcher carbon fibre image optimised Newtonian

Bought this scope late last year with the intention of using it with my ED120 for Astro imaging. Added a cooling fan , bobs knobs on the secondary, added a stock TS Optics 2-inch Adapter with compression Ring to replace the supplied retaining ring on the focusser ( about $90 imported). much firmer and reliable for holding cameras and imaging trains , and aligned the focusser.
The scope is a fast F4 , has a baffled carbon fibre tube and heavy duty 10:1 Crayford focuser , heavy duty tube rings and vixen dovetail with sufficient in focus for DSLR's and ccd cameras.
Asking $730 Ono buyer collects or arranges postage.
