Vixen FL102S Fluorite Refractor + Extras

Selling my much loved Vixen FL102S fluorite refractor. Well cared for as you would expect. I have made a number of recent purchases and can not justify one more without selling something (so I have been told).

Here is a link with information about the telescope:http://www.company7.com/vixen/telesc...ixen102fl.html

Without a doubt this scope has produced the best planetary views I have ever experienced. The scope includes an upgraded focuser for coarse and fine focus. Also included is a straight through finder scope and 50 mm correct image finder scope, as well as my best planetary eyepieces I used with this scope: 4mm vixen lanthanum, Japanese made Celestron 6mm ortho and a tele vue 8mm plossl. The 8 mm tele vue is particularly good with this scope.

The only imaging I do is astrometric measurements of asteroids and comets using larger instruments so I have never used the scope for imaging however a quick search of astrobin shows that some are using this scope for imaging:https://www.astrobin.com/search/?q=Vixen%20FL102S

Asking price: $1800

Pick Up: Sydney, Penrith, Katoomba

Postage and Insurance to be paid by buyer.

Would prefer pick up for this scope.
