Three very nice Astro-Physics items offered for sale:

1) 175EDF Starfire 1400mm f8 air-spaced triplet OTA serial number 175EDF35 with flattener, focuser extension, rings, Losmandy-spec dovetail, caps and hard case. Amazing condition, likely used very little if at all, very clear glass and coatings, little if any signs of use. A once in a lifetime telescope. $25,000

2) 1100GTO CP3 mount, complete except for a counterweight bar. Bought directly from Astro-Physics in 2013, appears to have never been used, still in factory boxes. Tested insofar as the motors run and the hand controller readout is normal. No further testing done, sold as-is, where-is. Two brand new counterweights included. $7500

3) An unused but slightly storage-worn 48” “Portable Pier” will initially be available only to the buyer of the mount at $700.

Photos and more details available upon request.

These items are in Santa Cruz, California. Prospective buyers will have to come inspect them in their current location and if to be purchased only via a cashiers check or cash presented to a local bank. They will not be shipped nor sold in any other manner. Sorry, no trades.

Offered here on TAC to the local astronomy community before being placed in Astromart and CloudyNights ads.
