Hi guys,
I am thinking of selling off my half year old white meade 8" SCT OTA. This scope comes with UHTC coatings and it has very very good optics. Diffraction patterns on both side of focus is nothing short of amazing. The focuser is also very smooth......turning it itself is a joy. There is however, a little image shift, typical of these SCT, but almost negligable.
I am half-hearted at selling this, but I will put a price of SGD$1,100. A new UHTC scope of this can be gotten from Astromart for around US$550 and with shipping of around US$150, it comes to about SGD$1200 and still not inclusive of GST.
Considering people are selling 5" Mak here for around $600-$700, the price of $1,100 should be quite right for an 8"
Included will be the finder and the visual back. I will throw in the flexible dewshield and a specially machined (and beautiful) focus knob for this scope. The knob itself was machined by Astrosky....main purpose is to allow you a finer control of the focuser.

Not exactly. I am still an aperture guy. If I buy APO, it will be a much smaller scope meant for travelling.ariefm71 wrote:i think vince has converted from an aperture guy into an apo guy, this sale is to partially fund his next premium 5" apo scope
I am thinking of getting back a reflector. Miss those days when I had to tinker with collimation, adjusting spiders and stuff.
