16" F/4 New Moon Hybrid

For a large scope, this one is very easy to use. I have not ever needed to use a ladder or step stool. The eyepiece height at Zenith is 62.5". The scope has beautiful Hardwood construction.

Sadly, since I’ve owned this scope, light pollution in my neighborhood has worsened a great deal. I’ve kept it thinking I would make it out to a dark site but haven’t found the time in two years. So, I think it is time for this scope to have a new owner that can get the most out of it. I’m no expert, but I have owned many telescopes. The optics in this scope are excellent and it has given me the best views of Jupiter I have ever seen. In the rare moments when my skys cooperate, Jupiter looks photographic.

The following are included with this instrument:

*16" F/4.0 Pegasus Primary with polished back ( 1.55" Edge Thickness)
* ServoCAT/Argo Navis DSC with 10 K encoders and Powered Ground Board
* Feathertouch Focuser (FTF2015BCR-LW)
* Astrosystems 4 vane Spider and Secondary Holder
* Astrosystems Secondary Dew Heater with 9 V battery case
* Stalk for Argo and ServoCAT Handpad
* Rigel Finder
* Custom Light Shroud
* Collapsible Truss System
* Linear Bearing Cable Sling
* Custom Padded Beato Drum Bags for storage or transport
* Scope Cover
*Tele Vue 2” Paracorr Type 2

The scope is in great condition. There is one seam on the light shroud that has a couple of inches that need to be sewn up. I’ve shown that in the pictures. I’m happy to send any additional pictures, videos, discuss, etc. Pickup preferred. I can possibly meet a buyer within a couple hours of Northeast Arkansas. $6,500
