Excellent condition. ES 80mm Apochromatic refractor. Hoya FPL51 air spaced triplet, with dewshield, Vixen style dovetail mount and tripod holes. 2" Crayford focuser. Illuminated finder scope and 2" diagonal. Eyepiece adaptor 2" to 1 1/2". Carry case.
Bought 9 months ago from OPT.
Note: there is a little dust on the back of the objective.

here.
The telescope is made in China - Guangzhou - Jinghua is the company, I believe.
("Jinghua's Huang said his company bought the U.S. company Explore Scientific and also acquired the trademark in December 2009")
Additionally, it comes with an Astro-tech 2" field flattener and Canon EOS T-ring adapter and two TMB 1.5" planetary eyepieces - 6mm and 3 mm, and a Bahtinov mask for focusing.
Everything packs nicely into the case.
Why am I selling? I've decided to go the Canon lens route for AP, doubling up with day time photography. I would rather observe with binoculars.
I'd rather sell it as a bundle, so please make me an offer - a 'realistic' offer, if you are interested.
PM please. Buyer pays freight/post.
Thanks for looking.
