'Thanks Pete".
Ultra Compact series with it minimalist design. Large aperture in a very small footprint. Fits in any car. Take it with you to your dark site and have room to spare.
All wiring / power / comms / heater harnesses have been upgraded / serviced with heavy duty cables and are are 110% functional. Amazing image quality. All new valued at well over 14K USD.
Located in the Sydney Area, pick up, or I will deliver/meet within 150 kms.
Will have UC at the South Pacific Star Party @ Wiruna for any interested parties wishing to view. (11K AUD or Best Offer) price drop as I need the space for the new scope.
Thanks for looking... clear skies!
