Meade LX200 12" ACF OTA

Regrettable Sale of this Beautiful 12" SCT ACF OTA,
Price was $4500
Now $4,000 ono

This is just Tooo Much Scope for this black duck as Im going back to my faster Newts for wider field Imaging.

This 'Showroom Condition' scope has an Advanced Coma Free Optical System which produces very sharp stars across the entire field. The Optics are in immaculate condition and the Scope is approx 3-4yrs old at most - has never been opened and the inside is virtually spotless - please click on the detailed pics if interested !
I have adjusted the collimation when 1st purchased and it has held very true since - again, see pics.

Comes with the wider Losmandy Bar (which has some light normal wear scuffing) and a very near new condition Astrozap Dew Shield.
I do believe I have an F6.3 focal reducer for it aswell, which I will throw in; as for Eye pieces, I should have one spare standard 2", what size Im not sure, will suss out tomoz & confirm.
Also has the fully Padded cardboard box it came in, but will not ship at this stage !

The OTA weighs in at 35lbs = 15.87kg which works very well on the Neq6p mount with a 3rd counterweight

Link to the slightly newer version of this scope here : http://www.astroshop.com.au/products...p?id=MAS-037G3

I'm Asking $4,000 . Prefer local pickup and/or prepared to drive halfway'ish upto 100ks or so from the Gold Coast !

Pics 4, 5 & 6 showing the optics : (4 = Focused on Corrector) (5 = Focused on Mirror) (6 = Collimation, Photo stats : 135mm F/L at approx 1.5 meters away - Can even see the camera lens dead middle of the 2ndary)
