RARE AstroPhysics Star 12ED doublet

Number 17 of 150 made (1990 to 1991). Exquisitely figured objective as you expect from AP. Buttery smooth focuser, and it has the original rings (plus a custom made CF handle).

These are f/8.5. The view is VERY special - as good as Tak (though being from 1990, the contrast is not QUITE as good - maybe flock the dewshield?). I will include the original 2" / 1.25" visual back, as well as a modern replacement 2" back, plus a 50mm extension tube. Custom made dovetail shoe for Vixen-base finders too (nicely matches the focuser flange contour).

TRADED

I doubt you'll ever find another!
