This scope has seen better days. It was kept full-time in an observatory and used for imaging. At some point I noticed my dew heater wasn't working and when I went to inspect the objective to see if any condensation had formed, I saw this fungus/mould you can see in the picture. My best guess is that a lack of insulation in the observatory was causing condensation to form on the objective, but who knows...

There's an obvious spot of mould/fungus towards the center of the objective and some slight "hairy stuff" towards the edge of the objective in a couple of places. I took a photo of the objective with a torch on it so it looks worse than it is, but either way it's clearly not good.

The scope comes with NO FOCUSER. I sold the stock focuser some time ago when I replaced it with a Moonlite. The Moonlite is still here but it has too many issues to bother selling.

Scope comes with its original hard case, corrector, finder scope (never used), diagonal (think I might have used it once, possibly unused), canon EOS adapter (never used). NO EYEPIECE is included, I dismantled that and used it for an experiment.

Most of the images in my Astrobin gallery were captured with this scope. It was an excellent scope, very sharp and a joy to use...

Given the condition of the scope, I'm not putting a price on it, it will be sold (or not) by offer only. Freight will be at buyer's expense, though I'd prefer a local buyer.

More photos can be taken on request.
