Selling my SW BD ED100 achromatic doublet OTA. I'm just not using it enough to justify taking up space in my shed. I've had this OTA for about 12 years having bought it off Bintel when I was getting in to DSLR imaging. I've run this OTA with my Canon 550d, Canon 60Da and the QSI683 CCD camera. I've used it extensively for visual as well.
In additional to normal wear and tear marks, there are two noticible round scratch marks on the paint of the OTA. Cosmetic only and do not affect performance.

Looking at age and replacement value, I'm thinking that $750 (plus postage) is a good starting point for this item. As per attached pics, the following items are included:
- Home made bracket for red dot finder
