Takahashi fsq-85

The fsq-85 is sold. I will create separate adverts for the remaining items with photos.

I’ve nearly pulled the trigger on this a few times but have been in two minds. I didn’t use it at Astrofest and actually didn’t mind at all. I was having too much fun with the 28” SDM. I have a plan to do some wider field imaging with camera lenses instead

If it happens there is a buyer an this opportunistic moment it may proceed. If nobody comes forward I’ll probably just withdraw and wait for another catalyst event.
  • Takahashi fsq-85 with 1.01x flattener and equipped with an Esatto focuser, Prima Luce Labs 95mm rings and PLL Losmandy bar PLL matching risers. I do also have the original Tak focuser, CAA and clamshell though.
  • QHY268c with convenient drop-in filter holder, extension tubes and adapters for the correct distance to the Tak flattener
  • skywatcher Evolux 62mm
  • Optolong L-Pro, L-eNhance and UV/IR 2” filters
  • Large telescope soft canvass bag

$10,620

I will separate if the fsq-85 sells independently.

$4250: FSQ-85 with original Tak focuser and clamshell
$5700: FSQ-85 with original focuser AND Esatto focusser
$6000: FSQ-85 with original focuser, Esatto focuser as well as the PLL rings and 1 x Losmandy bar and risers.


Important Note. Stupidly I stored the fsq-85 in the large bag and inadvertently left the USB c cable for the focuser plugged in to the focuser and it got bent. That in itself is a non-issue because it is a regular cable, but it must have damaged the USB port so currently the focuser is with Testar who are replacing the circuit board with the USB port which will make it like new again. It is only a few months old. The fix is costing me another $158 but that's my mistake and I expect to get it back within the next few weeks.

*Update* the Esatto should be all good within 10 days

Tak alone, meaning TOA only? Or are you including the rings and losmandy bar, CAA etc? Thx for clarifying.
