Now that I have my 15" truss dob this scope isn't going to get used so hopefully it can go to a good home.

This scope is the flagship in the Vixen apochromat range. Made in Japan its a superior example of an ED refractor.
The focuser is rack and pinion but don't let that put you off as its about the nicest example of an r&p out there and far superior to those commonly seen on Chinese refractors.

Specs:

D=115mm F=890mm (f/7.7) ED Apochromatic Design
OTA Dia = 125mm Len=940mm Weight 4.4kg
Vixen 7x50 finderscope
Vixen 1.25" flip mirror diagonal supplied.
OTA fitted with a metal carry handle (attached to mount ring)

The scope is unmarked except for some marks on the mount dovetail for obvious reasons, and on the finderscope where the mount locating screws bear against the finders tube (unavoidable).

Asking $2500 + ship (sells new for $3865 with 2x LV eyepieces)

If it doesn't sell at this price I'll keep it
