Reduced. Scientific Explore 127mm FCD100 Apo Refractor with Feather Touch Focuser

REDUCED, Explore Scientific 127mm FCD100 apochromatic refractor. This telescope is in very good condition, both optically and cosmetically, and has been meticulously cared for.
What sets this OTA apart is the significant and highly sought-after upgrade: the stock Hex focuser has replaced with a genuine Starlight Instruments Feather Touch 3.0" Dual-Speed Focuser (Model CS-FTF3035B-A). This is not the standard focuser and makes a world of difference for both visual and imaging applications.
Key Features & Included Items:
* Telescope: Explore Scientific 127mm f/7.5 FCD100 ED Triplet Refractor (White Aluminum)
* Upgraded Focuser: A Feather Touch 3.0" Dual-Speed Focuser with 3.5" of draw tube travel and a built-in brake. This focuser provides buttery-smooth, zero-backlash focusing and is essential for achieving critical focus for astrophotography.
* Optics: The FCD100 glass is a premium-quality ED glass that provides true apochromatic performance, delivering stunning, high-contrast, and chromatic aberration-free views. Perfect for both deep-sky imaging and high-resolution planetary observing.
* Included Accessories:
* Original Explore Scientific tube rings and Vixen-style dovetail plate
* Lens caps
* Original Soft Bag
* Manuel Rotator
Does not include diagonal or finder scope. The rotator can be removed and adapters for your system are available from starlight instruments if needed.
Condition:
The telescope has been used but is in "excellent" condition. The optics are clean and free of scratches or fungus, no dew. The aluminum tube has no significant dings or scratches, it has some minor worn lettering on the scientific logo. The Feather Touch focuser is in excellent working order with no issues.
This is a fantastic opportunity to own a premium-grade refractor with an already-installed, top-of-the-line focuser. It's a true performer for both visual observers and imagers.

Price $2000 OBO includes CONUS Shipping and PayPal fees.
The telescope will be securely packed in its original double boxed packaging.
