Summary

I have owned this scope for a couple of years and as I am embarking on a new project it needs to go to a new home. Priced to sell quickly.

Please note, this is not a beginner’s telescope. It is fast and collimation has to be precise.

The dovetail is slightly curious (inherited from previous owner) but works well.

There some scratches on the tube caused by the tube rings but the performance is obviously not affected (see photos below).
