Meade LX200 8" ACF (Advanced Coma Free) Scope and Case + Accessories
For me this is a hard sale to do as I really like this scope. It includes
Fork mount and tripod,
Front and rear scope caps (cover mirror and visual back),
9 x 50mm finder scope with illuminator (Orion),
Hand controller and cable (Meade Autostar II),
Hand controller cradle,
Crawford dual speed focuser (williams optics) - also has temperature gauge on side of focuser,
Meade 5000 series 2 inch diagonal dielectric with 1.25" adapter
Meade 26mm Series 4000 plossl in case
EZ Clutch Kit
Camera adapter
and a JMI roller hard case (these are expensive to source) - photos of JMI hard case on rollers updated.
The main accessories I have stored in a hard ToolPro case which has kept everything in great condition. The scope itself is stored indoors within hard case and moisture absorbers (and I monitor the temp and humidity in the room they are kept in with the rest of my gear).
Note this scope also is equipped with GPS / Level North technology making for an easy set up (so a great scope for beginners upwards).
This scope is a joy to use and is easy to operate (using a 2 star alignment always works best) and have never had any issues with it. Set it up and off on running.
Probably will be a sale I regret but I have to reduce my scopes to make way for other gear.
I may also have some other accessories (not sure whether I would let the 8" hard dew shield in box go - depends on price and offer for example.)
$2800 ono Local pickup (welcome viewing in person).
