Ok, no BS - been offered the imaging scope of my dreams at a very nice price - and it is BRAND NEW - and I am selling the VC200L to soften the still not insignificant blow to the bank account.
It is the SAME one as here:
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ghlight=vc200l
I originally bought it from Dave Trap. I sold it to Hugh. I bought it back (you know how it goes in astro circles... like a rolling stone
). Only difference will be I reinstalled the dual speed focuser in place of the electric focuser, and there is no longer a 60mm extension tube. The finder is now an older Vixen 6x30 on the extended bracket (not the short one in the pictures). The dovetail is now reverted to the original Vixen supplied dovetail (the one in the pictures is SOLD). The Vixen flip mirror diagonal IS included.
Otherwise, what you see in Hugh's ad above is what you get, but at a MASSIVELY reduced (I am insane... but you all know that) price of
$1000.
NO issues with the scope WHATSOEVER - it's collimated well, the mirrors are pristine, the reducer is clean, and the thinned vanes work VERY well.
Relucatant sale, no BS, just need the deniro to pay for a lovely new Takahashi...
