- This is a very nice scope, punching way above it's price range!
I have one of Peters 24" SDM f3.5 scopes the viewing is outstanding, fortunately this scope is on a 4WD setup so I can move it with ease! to complement astronomy passion I am getting into the imaging field hence the triplet, this scopes imaging potential from all reports has been above expectations. I was feverishly waiting to begin shooting the Stars, it's on hold again 'till this is all sorted.
Reason for selling: I have looked through the scope 3 times, the scope is just a little to big for me to handle after recent wrist surgery, very unfortunate considering the 8 month order time frame.
$2200 plus shipping for all of above.

I was feverishly waiting to begin shooting the Stars, it's on hold again 'till this is all sorted. I'll be looking for a triplet scope in the 75-80mm range, lighter and easier for me to manage on the mount.
