RCOS 12.5 inch carbon fibre tube

I have an RCOS 12.5 inch carbon fibre tube scope I am selling.

It is F9, has the famous Star Instruments 1/24th wave optics with an interferometer test report.

It has an electronic secondary focuser and as it is a carbon fibre tube it has the same focus point night after night despite falling temperatures which is very handy.

It has an AstroPhysics focuser as well. Top and bottom dovetail plates and resprayed midnight with a hint of purple haze.

The scope handles an STL11000 camera easily without coma and pinpoint stars corner to corner and that is a rare ability.

Email me for links to images taken with this scope. It isn't really that heavy and is manhandleable. I have been using a Takahashi NJP mount with it and it handles it well.

AUD$14,000.

These are something like $22,000 new and a long wait.

Greg.
