TOA-130 USD$6500, buyer to pay shipping.
I am the second owner of this telescope. It has sat in my cupboard for the last couple of years, after I was notified about an AP-130 - I don't need two 130mm refractors... I'd like to liberate some cash to purchase a larger imaging sensor.
This telescope originally had the 2.7 inch focuser. I upgraded it to the larger Feather-Touch, so that I could take advantage of the 67-Flattener. This yields an effective Focal Length of 1000 mm at f/7.7, and an Image Circle of 90 mm - perfect for the newer full frame CMOS sensors.
I also have the 1.6x extender. This can be fitted behind the flattener, to give a 1600mm focal length telescope. This frames the moon nicely in a full frame DSLR. A Nikon adapter is included.
The scope has a couple of cosmetic marks - see pictures. Optics are in excellent condition.
I have the original Takahashi triple boxes for shipping. I realise this is my first post on Astromart - if you wish to see my longstanding involvement in the Australia astronomy community, please go to IceInSpace (Australian Astronomy Forum) and search for my username DavidTrap. Happy to chat with a potential buyer on FaceTime or Zoom at a mutually convenient hour.
I'm happy to supply more images on request, including a CCD inspector image analysis.
To put my price in context, the current retail pricing from OptCorp for the above is $USD9350.
Included items:
TOA-130NS with FeatherTouch focuser
67-Flattener
7x50 Finder scope and led illuminator
1.6x Extender and CA-35 adapter
Nikon adapter to suit CA-35 adapter
Tube Holder and Losmandy D-style dovetail plate
Laser cut bahtinov mask
Please contact me with any queries.
