Astro-Physics Riccardi-Honders 305 mm f/3.8

Hi,

I’m looking to acquire an Astro-Physics Riccardi-Honders 305mm f/3.8 astrograph in excellent optical and mechanical condition.

I’m a long-time Astro-Physics owner and collector (Traveler, 110 GTX, 130 GT EDF, 130 GTX, 155CS f/6) and an established high-end buyer on Astromart.

Budget is in the high $30k range, flexible for an exceptional, complete example with good provenance.

I understand many RH305 owners are not actively selling. However, if you’ve ever considered reallocating capital, downsizing, or moving to a different imaging platform, I’d be happy to have a confidential, no-pressure conversation.

The instrument would go to a permanent professional setup and a long-term Astro-Physics collector.

If you have one available-or know an owner who might at least consider a discussion - please contact me with details and photos.

Thank you,
Denis
