Sold – Orion ED80 and Vixen GP and associated equipment
Hi All,
I have decided to part with this scope, I have mused over this for some time, even recently putting it up only to take it off again recently. This is a perfect little setup for someone who wants a nice wide field scope with nothing to add but some eyepieces…
So for the details, it’s a grey Orion ED80, in excellent condition, on an original Vixen GP mount. As you can expect it is relatively new with only a very light scratch on the ED80 tube where it rubbed against the tube ring bolt the first time I assembled it (I then realised and cut the bolt back). Absolutely perfect optically.
What you get:
Orion ED80
Vixen GP Mount
William Optic 2” Star Diagonal
Tube Rings
Vixen Dovetail
Orion Dovetail (for 8” SCT mounting)
Celestron Unit Pointer
Tripod x 2 – one aluminium, one wood
Case
Anti Vibe Pads (cheap ones, but they work)
Price: $900 or nearest offer
Note: this is big and heavy and not something worth shipping (i.e. local pickup), I live in the South of Sydney.
Some slight changes to the add, the dual axis drives and controller are no longer for sale (never were actually, my mistake). I have taken them off and adjusted the price accordingly.
Well it looks like the pictures might have helped. This is now pending. I have an interested party on the entire setup and others interested in it for parts. So I think it will now sell.
And for Ballaratdragons, yes I tried to price these fairly and to sell. I have another scope in mind and the wife said enough is enough they have to go first. Both of them really are nice setups.
