FS: William Optics Zenithstar 66SD Doublet APO - SOLD

Hi all

I have decided to sell off this APO scope instead of trading for it. Its only a few months old. This is a scope with excellent optics (check out cloudynights for the review).

Except for a smaller aperture, the scope is flawless. Small, compact, beautiful with extremely smooth crayford focusser PLUS microfocusser as standard.
It has a retractable dew shield for easy storage, requires no finder as its FL is only 375mm. Comes complete with lens cap and eyepiece cap.
Selling just the OTA and nothing else
The only other thing this scope came with is a metal case but I had traded it in for a soft bag. The bag will be included in the package.

Scope brand new currently advertised as S$850 but I am selling it S$600 only. Price is fixed though, so PM me only if price is ok.

Thanks for reading.

Want to upgrade to a WO 80mm instead.

That is why asking to trade for a WO ZS80 or Megrez II package.

Considering the Megrez II ED triplet APO package or the Anniversary Flourite doublet if the price/trade is right...too bad missed Arief and Liu Ming's earlier deals...heh heh

cheers

Hi Remus,
Yes! But Taks would be way beyond my budget....
I actually have an offer for an 80mm short tube at a reasonable price...now waiting for the 66 to be sold off before I take up that option.
remember when I was pestering you about the FC60 also some years back? heh heh
btw, out of curiosity, do PM me what price are we talking about here..
cheers

Hi
I am now including the softcase as well. I had originally planned to keep it for other use but decided its no longer required. So here it is , an APO OTA at a fantastic price of $660 with WO softcase included.
Thanks...
