Paid $719 US plus shipping for all, will sell with shipping included within USA for $500 US, firm. Outside USA, you pay all shipping \/ tariffs.<\/p>\n

Will pack well. Selling only because I got a Newt and am loving using that.<\/p>\n

Payment will be via PayPal, I’ll eat the fee. I don’t want to this scope to sit on a shelf. It should be used. Contact me before paying<\/a>.<\/p>\n

–Astro-Tech AT80ED: paid $419 for it.<\/p>\n

–Astro-Tech Dedicated 0.8x Reducer\/ Field Flattener for this: paid 100 dollars for it.<\/p>\n

–Zwo EAF (mounted): Paid 200 dollars for it.<\/p>\n

Scope is native 560mm focal length, F\/7 without Reducer, and 448 mm at F\/5.6 with reducer. Reducer can also have a 2″ filter screwed directly into it, eliminating need for filter wheel or filter drawer if you only use one filter (I often used a Duo Ha\/OIII filter and a color cam with this, but would work with other filters or mono cam.)<\/p>\n

Lenses are in good condition. Electronic Auto Focuser works fine. Also will add in an adapter to use with DSLR \/ Mirroless, this works well as a telephoto lens handheld for birds \/ wildlife if you can lay it on something (like a railing or car hood) to hold the weight, or you’re very strong. I used it on a Canon 90D DSLR, and also on a Canon Rebel T4i.<\/p>\n

Body has some cosmetic wear in a couple spots (see photos), and my initials engraved into it. Slap a sticker on that if you want. You don’t get princess gear look at well below princess gear price.<\/p>\n

This is a working scope, and the sky doesn’t care how it looks in the dark. There is some tape residue on dew shield outside, you can likely clean it off with alcohol, I’m not messing with it.<\/p>\n
