[SOLD] Ed80 with moonlite focuser and 0.85 reducer.

[Crushellon (Tim)]

Still need more cash for my new Buisness so the ed80 is to go...
*Skywatcher ED80 gold tube
*2.5" moonlite focuser with high resolution stepper motor
*Skywatcher 0.85x reducer/corrector for ED80
*Genuine moonlite adaptors: moonlite to synta thread for threaded attachment of 0.85x reducer plus moonlite to 2" & 1.25" eyepiece adapters.
*Two Losmandy mount adapters. So not only can this scope be mounted on it's own, but it cam also be mounted on top of another scope to be used as a guider or secondary imager.

Front element could probably do with a clean but I've used it with excellent results as is so I never saw the need to clean it.

$1050. I would consider posting but all costs would be covered by the buyer, PayPal fees would be extra.

Hi Tim,
Does the flange rotate and do you still have the m48 extension for the stf8300/fw?
Regards
Rod

[Crushellon (Tim)]

yes and yes.

And as for the question you sent me "Does it have fpl53 glass?" I have found it hard to find a definitive answer for that question in the past. Someone else here might know more than me, but from my research as far as I can tell the glass is exactly the same as the current ed80 which does have fpl53 and a schott element.

Sorry to ask so many questions but here is the last one - does it have the original focuser?
Cheers
Rod

Yeh, it's got a single speed crayford.
