Askar 151PHQ

I'm slowing down in the hobby and keeping the small portable kit.  So I've been reducing my gear.  Selling my beloved Askar 151PHQ. Really has been a most wonderful OTA for me.  But I find I'm just not reaching for it anymore and instead the wide field kit gets most of my attention these days.

What can I say about it...it was purchased new from Agena in July of 2023.  It's performed awesome for me. The sharpness and clarity were always breath taking.  I never used it for visual, just photography. I can supply more photos (raw subs availible on request) as I remove from its mount (which BTW was a CQ350 and it was flawless).  I have the original foot locker case and original shipping box.  

I'll start with asking 3200. Typically I cover the shipping but this might be something we work out if we make a deal. I estimated insured shipping via UPS to be around 100$.  Open to reasonable offers.

I have the original visual back and m54 threaded adapter.  Which brings me to a negative. The adapter was dropped and has a mark on the face, but doesn't affect the threading.  But figured I should call it out.  There is also a small scratch on the metal retaining ring on the primary optic (visible upper left in supplied photo).  Again, purely cosmetic, it's on the metal retention ring and not the optic.

PayPal is preferred. We can discuss fees and shipping costs when we conclude a deal.

US Sale only.

Sale is for the OTA and orignial foot locker only. No other equipment, cables, harness, mount, etc shown is included in this sale.

I have clear skies forthcoming, so I have unpacked and redeployed the ota.  

Thanks for looking.
