Hi all,
Yes, this little scope that could has got to go finally, after so many sessions of imaging and visual use. Optics have been cleaned, and you can see several pictures taken by it on my website -> www.geocities.com/remuscj
The refractor is definitely in used condition but still looks fine except for some cosmetic paint chips due to normal wear, otherwise, everything else like the focuser, retractable dew shield, objective is in excellent condition. Most of the paint wear is where the tube ring is housed so it will be "hidden" from view, with the use of the tube ring which I will include in as well. You can mount the portable refractor on any photographic tripod for quick visual, or definitely mount it on a GEM for serious imaging like what I did. It is certainly field flattened already with the built-in field flattener, and will come with the standard visual adapters. Some specifications are as follows:
Aperture: 75mm
Focal Length: 500mm
Focuser: Rack and pinion type 60mm diameter
Focal Ratio: F6.7
Full Illuminated Field: 70mm
Objective: 3-element SMC-coated SD apochromat
Weight: 2.2kg
Tube Length: 470mm (retracted)
Price: SGD$1550
To the person interested in the purchase, I will throw in an original Pentax Diagonal, a generic plossl eyepiece (brand new), and a 2X generic barlow (also brand new)! All this would be worth a total value of SGD$300 over.
That's about it. You have pretty much got everythiing in this package to get you started.
