A lovely piece of kit. It comes with a high quality metal red dot finder, (which is removable) a full cover, end caps
and the Pentax SMC XW 20MM 1.25'' wide eyepiece.
The SCM XW eyepieces were especially designed for the PF range of spotting scopes.
So on this scope that's 26x mag with a 70 degree FOV with a comfortable 20mm eye relief. Other eyepieces, including zoom eyepieces can also be used. Will fit onto most camera tripod mounts.
Focus is very smooth, and at only 1.6 kg this makes for an ultra light, waterproof grab and go setup.
The image is the right way up, so good for both daytime, and astronomy.
80 mm is the perfect size for most observing, especially at low light...
The scope and optics are in excellent condition, the only defect is a little crazing of the rubber armour in one spot. The eyepiece is as new.
The scope alone retails for $1700 and the eyepiece $420.
PM me if interested.
$850.00 plus postage.
Note: The tripod and mount are not part of the sale.
