Sky Rover 130mm Sextuplet

I have been tooing and frowing as to whether I should sell this scope since NOVEMBER?!? I’ve only used it twice since the RH200 arrived and I keep telling myself that one day I’ll get a dual imaging setup going.
Firstly, I gave my new (old) Nikon D810 its first light. The second night was for the Super Blue Blood Moon where I learned that you need to change exposures as the eclipse starts
Also that you can capture DSO images under a full super moon!

For the past week I’ve been telling myself that I am far more likely to have a dual imaging rig going if one of those is a wide angle DSLR setup; a 50mm or 135mm or something.

So, now I’m putting this up before I change my mind again! These can be used visually with a special VERY short back focus 1.25” diagonal but it is first and foremost an astrograph.

It hit its 2 year birthday around April 4th and here is a link to most of the images taken in those two years as some never made it to the light of day.

$4,250 pickup preferred but it can be posted. It lives in a padded double boxed case (coffin) so it lays in rest.
