Sold – Orion ED80 and Vixen GP and associated equipment

Hi All,

I have decided to part with this scope, I have mused over this for some time, even recently putting it up only to take it off again recently. This is a perfect little setup for someone who wants a nice wide field scope with nothing to add but some eyepieces…

So for the details, it’s a grey Orion ED80, in excellent condition, on an original Vixen GP mount. As you can expect it is relatively new with only a very light scratch on the ED80 tube where it rubbed against the tube ring bolt the first time I assembled it (I then realised and cut the bolt back). Absolutely perfect optically.

What you get:
Orion ED80
Vixen GP Mount
William Optic 2” Star Diagonal
Tube Rings
Vixen Dovetail
Orion Dovetail (for 8” SCT mounting)
Celestron Unit Pointer
Tripod x 2 – one aluminium, one wood
Case
Anti Vibe Pads (cheap ones, but they work)

Price: $900 or nearest offer

Note: this is big and heavy and not something worth shipping (i.e. local pickup), I live in the South of Sydney.

Any questions just ask,

Cheers

Michael
