For Sale
Status: Sold  Ad Category: Telescope-Refractor  Ad # 119081
----SOLD----Altair Astro 115 ED triplet APO with rigel motorfocus. NOW ABLE TO POST TELESCOPE
This has been my main imaging scope for a good few years, and it has always produced crisp clean images. Visually it is absolutely stunning, with no colour fringing. Brand new price for all of this today is approx £1900
The scope itself comes with a hard aluminium case that is in very good condition with locks and included keys.

The scope itself is MINT. The optics are A1, and the scope body is free of dents etc. The scope is mounted on CNC machined tube rings, and mounted on an ADM Losmandy plate for secure mounting. Included is the optics chart for this exact scope, and proof of purchase by me (from new) direct from Altair.

I bought the Rigel USB n Step motorfocus kit for the 3" focuser, and it is great. Fully ASCOM compliant, it works great, and I recently tested it with windows 10, and worked. The focuser also has a temperature sensor so that when you are ready for it, you can use temperature compensation. This works very well with SGP imaging software. A great feature of the motor focus is that you can disengage the gears and use manual focuser very quickly and easily using the red thumb screws. (NOTE Motorfocus is attached to a different imaging scope which isn't included in the sale!)

This is a reluctant sale. It is a real beauty, and will give the new owner very pleasing imaging and viewing!
The reason for sale is that this scope no longer fits into the focal length requirements in my setup, so isn't getting used.

ANY questions please just ask.

Paypal accepted buyer paying paypal fees unless gift, and I am willing to travel 1 hour from woking to assist with delivery etc. I would be willing to post the scope now via courier at buyer cost.
Thanks
