Takahashi Collimating Scope with some tasty mods

This collimating scope comes with some very useful (and completely reversible) mods.

The PVC collar on the end of the scope means you can easily place a camera in the scope so you can collimate without having your eye stuck to the telescope.

The cheshire wedge has a torch added to it so you can have easy hands-free illumination even at night.

It comes with two adapters. One goes from a Tak to 68mm thread which allows you to thread directly on to the end of the focuser tube. The other one uses a flange and includes the standard adapter that comes with the scope.

Original box and instructions included.


They're currently out of stock at Bintel, but normally go for $399 new.


Asking $300 + shipping
