BORG apochromat

I'm dipping my toe in the water here: I've got a Borg ED100 coming - thank you Fahim. Which means my much loved super modular widefield Borg ED77 apochromat refractor will be excess to my needs. I don't have to get rid of it but if there is someone willing to make a reasonable offer, I'd consider selling it.

The 77ED is an ultraportable setup: FL 500mm, f/6.5, 1.5Kg. The objective can be removed for transport or to replace it with a 101ED lens (for 80mm tubes) to get more light. It also can be modified into a fast f/4 astrograph (with optional reducer). I enjoyed it visually and photographically and it gives splendid views with no obvious colour aberration.

The scope comes with the Borg medium duty helical focuser, 2" and 1 1/4" visual adapters, lens cover and tube rings with a Vixen dovetail bar. The optics are to say the least excellent. This truly a great grab and go scope suitable for both viewing or imaging.

If you have an interest in this scope email me and lets see if we can come to some arrangement.

I haven't taken any images of the scope yet, but will do so if there is any interest.

lhansen,

just a clarification: is this the 77ED or 77ED II ?

Thank you!

Clarification:

This BORG is the ED77, not the ED77 II
