US Sales ONLY
I am selling my appx. 3 year old Takahashi Epsilon 130D due a significant reworking of my imaging setup at home. There is no longer room on my mount for it. Scope is in good condition and lived in my Roll-Off most of the time I have had it. It has only three issues, some extremely minor cosmetic blemishes on the back of the rear cell, the same on the flattener housing (neither affects function in any way) and a 3D printed spider mask to clean up a slightly doubled diffraction spike that resulted from a very slightly twisted spider vane. This was from installation of a LEO focuser (there is very limited space to work). There is no effect on images. I can explain more if the buyer is interested. Astro-Images taken with my ZWO 2600 MM are shown below. Please note that all images were taken with the LEO focuser (available separately), not the native focuser, which I never used but was reinstalled for sale.
There are a number of items that are standard and others that are optional. All of these are listed at well below retail cost. Retail for the scope and rings alone is $2859 (which makes the price 44 % less than retail) and the collimation tools, custom dew sheild, and custom camera adapters are thrown in for free.
Standard:
Epsilon 130D with stock Takahashi focuser in original Takahashi Triple Box
MoreBlue Aluminum tube rings and hardware
Custom 3D printed Carbon Fiber Nylon Dew Shield
3D printed top plate with holes for LEO focus controller
Takahashi collimation sight tools
Takahashi Tube Cap
Several custom adapters for the system that fit various camera systems. These may or may not work for you since back focus is critical but I have no use for them w/o the Epsilon so I am including them.
Optional (I will sell these separately):
Optec LEO focuser (see separate ad).
Epsilon 130D mounting saddle and flattener adapter for Leo focuser (see separate ad).
If you would like to see the scope and accessories before buying, I am in Central Oregon.
I would also suggest that we either talk or exchange a few emails, especially if the buyer has not owned a fast reflector before, so that they know just what they might need. I want a happy buyer!
What you are getting is a scope with minor defects that do not affect the images and for a bit over half price!
