NG 127mm Triplet OTA with extras .

Hi all ,, well I never thought I would be doing this but things have changed so I have to sell off my beautiful NG127mm triplet refractor , Its just a fact of life I supose .
Anyway what you have here is my 127mm triplet APO made by North Group and its an awsome scope in every way and at f / 7.5 its a good imaging scope .
Optically its very , very good , you want to see saturn at 317x with this scope using my 3mm eyepiece , just beautiful , the moon is spectacular also.
Extras include the best of the best Feather Touch 3035 R&P focuser worth nearly $900 new , a GSO Quartz deilectric diagonal , 50mm focuser and aliminum carry case , and now a Kendrick full apateure white light solar filter , nice ...an all up package .
these go for about $1999 new OTA only with the so, so standard focuser.
This one is $1800 + postage , that means you will get the OTA for well under a grand , a bargain for a scope of this type .
Its a sad day for me .
Pm me for more info if you want it .
ps. the mount is not for sale , sorry ..

Darn it Brian, if only you'd offered this a week ago!!!!

Want to swap it for an as-new 180mm Maksutov? I'll throw in an EQ5 GOTO

See, now if the moderators would approve me for posting for sale EARLIER (not 30 days STILL), I could sell the Mak and EQ5 and buy your 127 A vicious circle

Hi all , I just realised that there is a 'Kendrick' full apature white light solar filter that goes with this scope , it gives great views , I will have to throw it in with the OTA .. , as it will only fits this scope ( way to big for my remaining 63 and 60mm scopes ) , very well and safely ,,, ,,cool more accesories .
Brian.
