I'm reluctantly selling this incredible telescope due to an upcoming long-distance move; I simply can't take it with me.
It has been carefully stored in a closed garage, always kept under covers and remains in immaculate condition. There’s some minor dust on the primary mirror, which can be easily cleaned if desired, but it does not affect viewing quality.
