Gso rc8

Hi everyone,

Well after having owned this baby for quite some time, and not once getting to fire an image through it, Its time to sell up.....

GSO 8" F/8 RC - Has losmandy and vixen dovetails, all the focuser spacers, the original focuser is included as is an upgraded moonlite with robofocus motor, controller, hand controller and all required cables to attach the focuser a computer for complete auto-focus.

the scope and optics are in great condition, there is the normal amount of dust you'd expect from an open tube reflector, however it would not be anywhere near enough to degrade images. Collimation is right on the money and it holds its collimation very well in transit.

Whilst I have not had a chance to get any images through the scope, the previous owner took some real cracker images with this scope... my favorite of which being THIS image.

I have the original box and all the original padding so I'm happy to ship the scope anywhere within Australia..

Price - $1400 posted anywhere within Aus..

Regards,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

This inquiry is for a mate of mine. Please post a couple of pics of this attractive package.

TIA
