Hi all,
Yep, this one's going as well. 80mm aperture, f/7.5 giving a 600mm focal length.
Bought a couple of years ago now, used predominantly for imaging. It's been used as a guidescope as well and for casual viewing every now and then.
The optics are perfect giving nice pinpoint stars in my very, very modest two eyepiece collection -- a 35mm GSO wide angle eyepiece and 9mm Meade illuminated reticle.
The scope shows signs of wear, a couple of cosmetic scratches on the tube, but the glass is clean and clear.
Comes with the standard ED80 dovetail and mounting rings. No eyepieces, finderscope or diagonal/erecting prisms are included. It's just the OTA and rings, just how I got it.
Here's an example image taken with it:

As you can see, there's some curvature towards the edges, however, this can be resolved by using a William Optics 0.8x flattener/reducer.
I think these go for around $600 nowadays. I'm looking at $450 (or make me an offer if you feel I'm being unrealistic) plus registered postage anywhere in Australia.
Again, no private messages, please. Email me at octane2 AT optusnet DOT com DOT au and leave a message here as well noting you've sent me an email.
My preference is for a direct transfer into my bank account. I can't be trusted with cash.
I'm happy to deliver to locals (Canberra/Queanbeyan) at no cost.
Regards,
Humayun
