Takahashi TOA-150 - Complete OTA package

My much loved Takahashi TOA-150 triple focal length OTA with accessories is for sale. I just can't see myself using it in the foreseeable future since my imaging scope is now my OS 14" RC.

All the optical components are in pristine condition and optical performance is best in class. See my website for images I've taken.

This is a complete optical system and if you happen to have an SBIG STL camera and a good mount you can start serious imaging without needing additional image train adapters. Of course, it's an outstanding visual scope too!

Selling as a complete package.
