Orion ED80 OTA, MSS focuser adapter & Stellarvue soft case
G'day,
I am selling my Orion ED80 OTA and case. This particular OTA was bought from Company7 at the end of 2003 and is from the second batch imported into the USA. The scope has been fitted with a Mercury Support Systems compression ring focuser adapter and is in perfect condition except for two things. First, the rubber grip rings on the focuser knobs have perished (I'll include two brand new knobs with the scope to cover this). Second, when Company7 collimated the scope before delivery they removed a tiny bit of paint from around the screws that hold the focuser to the rest of the OTA. I also have a cap to cover the objective lens when the dewshield is removed and a foam-lined Stellarvue C5 travel case which holds everything with room for several eyepieces.
I'm asking $450 plus registered/insured postage or we can work something out if you are close to Melbourne. I loved this scope but it has been replaced with one a little larger.
Please PM me if you are interested or have any questions. Further pictures available on request. Thanks for looking.
