Takahashi FSQ 106ED

For sale is well used Takahashi FSQ106ED.

I bought with the intention of setting up a wide field imaging system ( camera is listed separately). A number of restoration projects got in the way and I won’t get to this scope for a while, therefore I am selling the scope and camera.

This was one of the most popular scopes available for use with a well known remote astronomy provider operating at siding spring. I haven’t taken any images with it so I cant show you what a brilliant scope this is.

Generally in very good shape, comes with adapters for a off-axis guider setup as well as the camera angle adapter.

It does however not have a lens cap, hence the shower cap protecting the objective.

The objective needs a clean (see attached images) but I am not qualified to do that so I have left it alone. It looks worse than it is, but from what I can tell there is no coating damage, just the accumulated dust from more than 10 years of almost nightly use.

I don’t have the original shipping cartons, but it will be well packed for transport.

Note, the focuser of the scope does not sag.

Asking $4250 OBO not including postage.
