I've just switched to a premium refractor and must make space.
- 152mm Carbon Fibre David H. Levy Comet Hunter Maksutov-Newtonian OTA
- Dew Shield
- Lens cap
- Focusing tube extender (can be removed for Astrophotography backfocus)
- 2" to 1.25" adapter and 1.25" insert cap
This OTA is designed for both visual and astro and is well regarded for the price eg.

EMD coated optics, 10:1 2” focuser with focus lock and tension adjustment knobs. The stock collimation knobs are similar to Bobs Knobs.
Does not include any eyepieces or finder scopes. One of the two guidescope mounts is missing a screw - not much of an issue unless you plan to attach two guidescopes or finderscopes at the same time. The dovetail shows marks where the clamp screws have dug into it - all from normal use and to be expected. There are a couple of small scuffs on the outer tube, photos attached (the camera flash makes them stand out more than they really appear)
Asking $650 + shipping
Price does not include the Pelican case, the Skywatcher mount, Farpoint dessicant cap, or red dot finder seen in the pictures.
I am selling the waterproof, wheeled heavy duty Pelican 1650 (RRP $500) for what I bought it, $250 + shipping but will include for $200 if sold with the scope.
PM if you have questions or are interested and would like more photos
