I am downsizing a bit.
Near new W/O FLT132 refractor, as supplied new a few months ago. Wonderful views, and great imaging machine. You know what it is, and what it does. Scope is in as new condition, and is with case, tube rings, finder bracket, and 4" focuser.
Priced at $2900.
Shipping quote is in the order of $275.
Image is a stock image, the NGC55 and Tarantula are from recent runs.
PM me.

The Helix looks like a Tarantula.

The 4" focuser would have no problem illuminating a 35mm sensor, yeah?

If only the funds allowed...

Ha, well spotted H, thank you, and corrected.
Yes, the standard W/O 4" is huge and would cover the 35mm size without too many problems. There is a dedicated flattener as well, the "Flat68" which is a god-send for this. Sorts out the field as it should do. In my case the camera I use is 2048 pixels square and I don't see any coma in the corners so haven't used the Flat68. For the Sony DSLR I do use it though.

A good price for this OTA. I use the same scope with the Flat68 and a full sized 35mm STL11K camera; it fills the STL's main chip no problems and becomes nice and flat.
