hi Bo,
I have a Celestron ED80 which I bought while living in the USA 3 years ago. It comes with finder, visual back and original box. It is f7.5 and from what I can read it has the same FPL-53 / ED glass as the Orion (please do your own research to confirm this) but with a R&P focusor.

Condition is very good, bar a very small screw hole in the dew shield and a scratch about the size of a 10 cent piece on the underside of the tube - all from the previous owner.

How much are you looking to spend? PM if preferred. I can send photo's.

If not interested that's totally cool. This is a spare which I am happy to sell but also I'm happy to keep it

regards,
Ian

Hey Bo,

Forever, or to borrow? Mine is simply gathering dust, for now... And my last few star parties, I have spent much time being v nice to Jen so I can play with Johnny!

If you are looking for one to borrow to tide you over, I'm happy to oblige!

Thanks Mish,
I would like to get one on "indefinite loan" so I can start learing AP.
My first preference is an ED80, or an ED100 (I will get a reducer if not offered).
Ian, I am aware of the Celestron ED80, it's an Orion ED80 by another name, with the exception of a R&P focuser as opposed to a crayford. I will PM you with some questions.
Cheers,
Bo

Hi Bo,
I have a Saxon ED100 for sale if your previous offers don't work out. The details should be in the sale archives as my previous buyer pulled out (after 3 months holding for him) but I would be happy to PM photos and details if you like.
Cheers,
Lucas
