Takahashi 210 Epsilon Astrograph. $4,500.00
After 12 months waiting I finally received my FSQ130 so my beloved Epsilon is going.
The Takahashi 210 Epsilon Astrograph is one of the finest astrophotography instruments and has flawless optics. The Epsilons E210 and E250 were Takahashi's flagship Astrographs.
The Epsilon 210 was originally designed as a wide field astrograph for use with large format film cameras. It is an extremely fast F 3.0 with a focal length of 630 mm.
The Epsilon 210 is equipped with a giant helical focuser with ED field flattener corrector and camera angle adjuster built into the focuser. New cost with tax was over $8000 USD. This size is not made any more and is very hard to find.
Excellent condition only a few paint chips. The optics are pristine.
Tak tube rings are mounted on a Cassidy D plate. Top plate is a Losmandy D saddle. 7x50 Tak finder.
I will also include a Takahashi Collimating scope.
