This system suits new buyer and has been used rarely.

Capability - using premium eyepieces - this unit is capable of resolving something that you will rarely if ever achieve with any commercial telescope under $20k - and this is resolving the lobes of the "ejecta shell" of Eta Carina, such is the optical quality, mechanical quality & performance, and also the power of this system.

I have upgraded to an Officina Stellare 10 inch Sitall & Carbon tubed "Supremo" Maksutov and this system is not being used, thereby it is being passed on to someone that will actually use it.

This is an exceptional opportunity to secure a telescope that costs more than double this price from the supplier, and enables a resolution and performance that is very rare to find unless you purchase an Officina Stellare or something with such quality levels.

Price $ 2,800

Pick up in Melbourne, packaging & shipment available nationally at extra cost.

Thanks for looking.
