Televue Genesis 100mm F5 Refractor
Reluctant sale offer - wife insists
Televue Genesis Refractor. Petzval 4-element Flourite. 500mm focal length, F5. An oldie (late 80s) but a goodie (very goodie).
I have been using for imaging with both SBIG ST2000, and Canon 20Da.
I have fitted a Moonlite focuser, with fine focus reduction gear, and focus lock. The Moonlite also allows the whole assembly to rotate.
It comes with the original TV rack and pinion focuser - since that is where the serial number resides.
Also included is the TV 2" diagonal (not sure if it is the Everbrite version - I can't tell the difference), and 1.25" high top adapter.
Also a 100mm long 2" tube with T-thread and Canon EOS adaptor.
Also the original Televue Clamshell mount. (Note the home-made Vixen adapter plate shown in pics is NOT included.)
Last and not least is the original Televue Carry Case.
As you should expect for a scope that has been well used for 20 years, there are a few paint scratches and other marks, but nothing that affects the optical performance.
Unlike my earlier Orion 80ED, there is no noticeable coma in the corners of pictures taken.
Reason for sale... need to make space for a Tak FS128! The wife wants me to make an effort to sell. (I'm not fussed about losing the Genesis)
Accordingly, my price is not flexible, I think its reasonably fair.
$2200..... buyer pays shipping. I'd prefer direct-deposit into my account.
