For sale is an Esprit 80ED Triplet APO Refractor is excellent condition with all original packaging and accessories, including aluminium carry case.
Selling as I have a Starizona Apex 0.65x reducer for occasional use with my Esprit 120, making its focal length similar to the Esprit 80.
The rubber grip on one focus knob become worn so I have replaced with a set of new rubber O rings.
There is also some discolouration on the headshield due to the dew-heater strap.
But this scope is in otherwise pristine condition and works flawlessly as evidenced by the sample images below:
