Up for sale is this one of a kind custom scope. 7” f/15 RF Royce objective , tube and rings made by Parallax. This is the only one. Please refer to the Royce website about his philosophy and design of achromatic objectives. 

To me this scope is like a 7” apo most of the time. Some purple seen on Venus and Jupiter at high magnification. 

I’m moving again and unfortunately can’t take everything. 

Comes with  Feathertouch focuser new in 2017, Scopestuff sliding weight bar and weight, Telrad base, wood alt-az mount and bearings by Dobstuff, Losmandy 22lb counterweight for the alt-az, Parallax rings, custom but ugly aluminum dovetail bar for EQ use, lens cover, Parks Superior Eq mount fits Losmandy pier. 
The mount motor runs but tracking doesn’t work. Runs off 12v cig plug cord. 

Does  not come with Losmandy pier adapter for the alt-az mount or Losmandy tripod.

Prefer local  pickup or delivery within 100 miles. Or can ship the lens cell, dew shield, tube, focuser, rings , alt-az mount in 4-6 separate boxes at buyers expense. Not shipping the Parks Eq.

I would consider a trade for an Osypowski Aluminum platform for 18” dob and 37 degrees. Aluminum only. Or a Takahashi Epsilon 180. (These wont take up much space and my wife won’t notice either)
