North Group ED127 Refractor

One of the ubiquitous "North Group" Refractors, from the equally well known Gilman. Bought to see if it would replace the "twitchy to collimate" 8inch f4 newt. It could, but won't so I am selling it.
Case has suffered a slight bow to one end, but is very serviceable.
Scope will come as supplied new: case, rings, with Vixen style rails, and illuminated finder and bracket, 1.25" eyepiece adaptor. Caps for all. The rails top and bottom shown in the image are not included.
We can discuss shipping with a 50/50 split most likely.
Picture is with an SXVF-H9 and Ha filter, just to try it. Shows definite potential. I also viewed Jupiter with it last night in mediocre seeing and was very impressed.
AU$1250.
If interested, shoot me a PM, all discussions off group please.
