Selling  my GSO 10" f/8 Ritchey-Chretien telescope. This was my dream scope, however, it’s proven to be too much scope for me. While it fits in my Skyshed POD (barely), there’s not much room for me in there. Also with imaging train attached she weighs in at ~46 lbs. and that’s getting real close to the limits of my mount.

Scope is in mint condition, no marks or scratches that I know of. Optics are awesome, clean and crisp. I’ve only had it on the mount for a little over a month. Just too big.

It also comes with an Optec TCS Si temperature controlled focuser, Astro Physics reducer, shroud, soft cap, visual back, and 3 spacer rings. (camera and rotator shown in photos not included)

$3,975 invested, not including the shipping and sales tax I had to pay…reduced price to $3,200.

I also have 2 collimation lasers: Howie Glatter 635nm red laser collimator with the optional concentric ring attachment and a Hotec SCA Laser collimator. If you’re going to own an RC, you’ll need these. I will throw these in for an additional $275.

Have all the original packaging and manuals. Prefer that you pick this up, but if not, buyer pays shipping and insurance.

Really hate to let this one go. Hopefully, you can give her a good home.
