For $3K OBO, I'm having to part with this gorgeous 14" scope. It's not an Edge, and has the Starbright XLT coatings. I bought it used, because I wanted to focus on tiny galaxies and planetaries with it. I have all other FLs covered. The chip size range (think ZWO planetary cameras) I need all have the wrong pixel sizes for its FL, and so it's just sitting around, when it should be on someone's mount. Scopes like this shouldn't just sit around.

It's the beautiful white model, in great shape, not even sure year of manufacture, 3900 FL All the optics are spot on, and it's Hyperstar ready. The previous owner added these extras:

- A more refined and practical primary mirror lock system, as you can see in the photos. 
- A motor ready Feathertouch dual-speed focuser
- Fans
- Tube vents
- Internal flocking to eliminate stray light

I paid $4K about a year ago, and mounted it twice to test cameras, and once to shoot. Shot with it one night with an ASI294, and it was everything you hope for. I have the box it was shipped in and can ship, but I prefer driving 400 miles in any direction from Grand Junction, Colorado, to deliver or meet, and it would be a hefty shipping bill. I haven't yet checked, but I'm sure at least $300. 

I'm open to any and all offers. 

Thanks for looking.
