8" Travel Scope

Up for sale an 8" F4 Travel Scope
Other than the struts everything packs into the box ( 35cm x 35cm x25cm ) that doubles as a riser and base board.
Uses GSO mirror and mirror holder that give nice sharp views and is easy to collimate , has a Kline Optics 2" ultra low profile focuser so a much smaller secondary is used to improve contrast , RDF finder and all the threaded knobs so it can be assembled without tools
The design is very durable , I was once stranded in Kalgoorlie and posted it home and it survived the trip no problem other than some extra scuffs on the external box , if the postie cant kill it no one can.
Eyepieces and filter not included.

$590 plus post

PM if interested
Thanks
Zane
