With tax and shipping this it $14k from Land Sea and Sky.  This one is $4000 less and comes with a FREE MOUNT!

The bad:  lens fungus.  It's mostly on the exterior of the first objective but there is some between the objectives as well.  Chris from LandSeaSky quoted me $1600-$1800 to remove the three objectives, clean them, and reculminate the scope.  But, you can clean the front of the first objective yourself to get 90% of it.  (Personally, I never clean optics).  I'd be hard pressed to believe the remaining 10% stuck between the objectives would be noticeable in any way shape or form on the views.  But, I know how picky some of you can be so I've added an appropriate discount.

Includes the hand controller, power supply, serial to USB cable, 2" Tak diagonal (worth $600), original box and manual, and an additional counterweight.  DOES NOT INCLUDE: tripod or finder.  Add $1000 for the tripod.


I have a shipping discount but I am still expecting the buyer to pay.  Send me a message for a quote.  The original box should keep it safe for shipping but I can drive a couple hundred miles from Detroit to meet a potential buyer.  You are also welcome to come to my house during a clear night to check it out.  I'm also available to video chat for a virtual visual inspection.  Let me know what questions you have.
