Hello all,
I am looking to sell my trusty SVA130T. I can't quite remember the Strehl ratio, but I think it is something like 0.98 or thereabouts. I bought this in January 2018 and have exclusively used it as my remote imaging scope. I have a matching Field Flattener (please note, this is not the reducer) that I will include in the sale of this fine scope.

Back focus is 55mm. I have used it with the ATIK 383L+ and ZWO1600MM. Both had OAGs at the back of the focuser, so the 55mm back focus is not a concern with either of those (or similar) cameras.

The reason for me selling this is because I am going a different route with my telescopes - most likely a 10in/12in RC and I need to make space for the new scope. This one, I am sure will remain unused if I end up getting a new scope.

The scope will include a case, rings, original focuser and the SVFF. I will also include the test report that Vic includes with all his scopes.

Do please note that the scope is in my remote observatory right now. I am headed that way next weekend and will bring it back with me to attach the original focuser. So, it will be available after next weekend (after 4/19/2019).

Unfortunately, all images that I had of the scope with me got wiped out when I lost my hard drive. So, until I get out to the observatory again next weekend, I won't have any images.

For other accessories that can help with using this scope efficiently, just ask. I may be able to sell some of those since I won't need them (I have a Bahtinov mask, dew heater straps, Losmandy dovetails, etc.).

I will accept PP (fees on me) and cash. After 4/21/2019, you are more than welcome to pick this up in Round Rock (or somewhere close by if it is within a convenient driving distance). I will ship this, but at buyer's expense (shipping is limited to contiguous US 48 states). I don't want the hassle of shipping this overseas - have done that and been burnt before.

Any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks!

CS!
