I am moving from US to China permanently, and I don’t want to send all these things due to the shipping cost. So I have to sell them. I have more than 20 Items for sell, you may want to see my other ads in the site, just click my name.
Since I am moving soon, I really don’t want to ship any items. If the package is returned, I probably will not be able to receive it and send it again, since i am out already. Thus, I highly prefer local pick up even for a dovetail bar. I live in Kennesaw GA. I am open anytime until Dec. 21st 2021. Hence, I have very few pictures taken in each ads, just let me know if you want to see more, or you can just stop by.
This is the first time I’m selling things on astromart. if I did anything wrong, just let me know.
This is the item number 3.
This is a 12 inch f/4 Newtonian in carbon fiber tube I made myself using on market products. I wanted to buy a 12 inch Newtonian this spring but nothing in stock in US, and the shipping cost for the scopes in this size is about 1000 USD from China. So I made my own in this May.
The carbon tube has a wall thickness of 2.5mm. I bought it from DragonPlate, the cost was about 850USD with shipping. The inside of the tube is flocked by myself.
The primary mirror and the mirror cell are from Agenaastro, which are made by GSO. The primary mirror didn’t have center mark when it came, so my wife drew a flower on it. (see picture)
The secondary mirror is from DKD, China. It is a 84mm octagon shaped mirror and made the star spikes quite unique (8-spikes stars with 4 big ones and 4 small ones).
The spider and the focuser are from 2047 Studio, China. The 1:10 wheel falls off, but I don’t need it anyways, since the EAF is installed (sold with the scope).
The primary mirror has some dust on it, but can be cleaned easily.
The pictures are shot with this scope + 294mm pro (in another ad) with CEM70 (in another ad)
NOTICE:
1.This scope does not have a CAP!
2.This scope weights 40.8lb including rings, bars, and EAF.
I am asking 1600 USD for the whole package including: the scope + rings + 1 Losmandy bar + 1 Vixen bar + EAF V2
