Skywatcher Evostar ED80 Kit with focal reducer

Hi Eveyone

This ED 80MM only a few months old from Astro Peter. I removed the stock focuser and added the GSO rotatable one and fitted two dovetails.

Bought the ED80MM focal reducer and the esprit adaptor it slides into into the tube and then you can thread the reducer onto it.

I have also swapped out the standard dovetail and replaced it with the 12 inch green which will make it easier to balance when camera is attached etc.

Seen so many ED 80mm hanging on one clamp to balance with the stock dovetail.

No chance to do any imaging at all, just visual, so the focal reducer hasn't seen the light of day.

Things have changed need to sell it to fund another venture.

I do have an 80 extension tube, which i will include,could be handy to achieve focus depending on the eyepieces you use.

PRICE $1200

Paypal is fine

PM me if interested
