GSO 8" F5 newtonian OTA

GSO 8” F5 imaging newt OTA for sale. I bought it here a few years ago, but selling as I’m impatient and going for a faster newt. Its been my main imaging newt when I started in 2017, see https://www.astrobin.com/users/ChrisFC/ for shots I have taken with it (e.g. lagoon, dolphin, helix etc, not the wider shots which were on my refractor).

Tube has no dents, just a few minor scratches. The mirrors are in excellent shape and clean. It has been collimated recently.

Comes with lens & OTA caps, finderscope (SkyWatcher) and a Bahtinov mask (not pictured). Mounts via vixen dovetail rail on scope rings.

Looking for $220. Prefer pickup as shipping will make too expensive and I’m too lazy to sort it out. Have original boxing. Thanks for looking.

Please PM if interested. Can come halfway to see/sell if in/near Sydney
