For sale: Lunt LS60MT Double Stack and Takahashi FC-76DCU

[Raghava R]

Unfortunately I’m out of town for the upcoming SJAA swap meet, but posting the scopes I would have brought to sell here.

Lunt LS60MT + LS60FHa Double Stack - $3200

This is Lunt's latest version of the 60, a modular telescope. It has a rack and pinion focuser and a B1200 blocking filter. It also includes the full size 60mm double stack etalon, the LS60FHa. The scope is about 2 years old, the blocking filter about 1.5 years old. Light marks under the clamshell from using screws that were too long one time.  Currently retails for $4800 + tax. Asking $3200

Takahashi FC-76DCU - $1000

I had plans for a binoscope, but the costs of discontinued Matsumoto units are prohibitive now.   The scope is in excellent condition, but the nameplate on the focuser is missing (it was originally a FS-60 with a FC76 objective upgrade, so the nameplate came in a loose bag which is now nowhere to be found). Comes with the Takahashi clamshell, a rare Takahashi 2” compression visual back, and a Takahashi 2” to 1.25” adapter.  The focuser is the old green while the clamshell is the new blue. Retail is $1600, asking $1000.

Misc:

SkyWatcher Solar Quest Mount and tripod - $300

1.25” Takahashi Prism diagonal - $100

Takahashi ADM 7” D dovetail - $40

Innorel RT90c - $240

Send over an email if you’re interested. I’m happy to provide pictures or answer questions. I’m located in San Francisco, but I’m also often in the East Bay. I might also be willing to meet along the Peninsula.
