Northgroup 127ED Triplet

I bought this scope from AdrianF a few months ago, but it is going now along with most the rest of my stuff.

Comes in an aluminium case, with a few eyepieces - 10, 15 and 20mm from memory - a finderscope and a GSO 2" diagonal, and rings and vixen rail
EDIT:There is one catch missing its latch on the case - see photo. It still shuts securely.

Optically it is great. The focuser leaves a little to be desired, but is ok for use with my DSLR - and nothing that couldn't be sorted with a delivery from Moonlite . The focuser compression ring has been augmented with some drilled and tapped thumbscrews so there is no chance of anything falling out unexpectedly. It has a screw on metal lens cap.

Judging by the few images I have taken with it, there is little need for a flattener - the field is not completely flat right to the edge - but for me it is not an issue. I would buy a new focuser before a flattener.

$800 firm - this is $50 less than I paid for it. Shipping is in addition to this at buyers expense

I will post some pictures when I get home from work.

Cheers
Adam
