10" f4 Schmidt Newtonian

Reluctant sale of my 10" f4 Meade Schmidt Newtonian.
Mirror and UHTC coating both in excellent condition. There are a few upgrades
  • Focuser has been upgraded to a Moonlite DC motor unit, complete with Rigel focuser controller allowing for laptop control (standard hand controller included also)
  • The OTA has been flocked inside
  • Upgraded the finder base to a Vixen base

The following accessories are also included in the sale
  • 14"/38 cm D dovtail
  • Laser collimation tool
  • Cheshire collimation tool
  • Astrozap dew sheild
  • 8x50 mm RACI finder
  • Dew Not 10" dew heater strap

I originally wanted to use this for AP work but it's too big for my EQ6 without a dome (plus I like using my FLT). Visually it's a great scope but I don't have any images taken using this scope but you can search them on Astrobin.

Price wise I am looking at $1200. Pick up only but can travel around 100km to meet buyer. NASA sticker is free
PM me if you are keen.
Thanks
Bo
