The scope is a work of art and is in excellent condition.  I am the original owner and I primarily used the scope for astrophotography (see images) and planet viewing.  If you want to do imaging this instrument is an excellent choice.  The scope has excellent color correction and a very sharp focus.  It is built like a tank to provide many years of use.  Full disclosure:  There are three extremely small marks in the paint - hardly noticeable.  Will be shipped in original W.O. boxes.  Price: $1500.  In addition to Cash or Money Order and PayPal we can do Venmo.  Will split shipping and insurance costs with buyer to CONUS only destinations.  Thanks for looking.
