Looking for a new home. I bought this when I was experimenting with different designs. Only used a couple of times. Been kept in a climate controlled room.
Like new, optics are quite good. Being a doublet design, there is some chromatic aberration. I did not find it an issue, and people use filters to get rid of most of it. I used a violet filter. Some others have said baader semi apo fringe killer filter also works well. I liked the shorter OTA vs the CR-150.
The current price new is $979, but it does not come with the case. Very nice storage case.

FL: 988mm, f/6.5, tube length 41", objective diameter 152mm.
OTA is ~23lbs, so you will need an appropriate mount. Case is also ~24 lbs.
$350.
I will bring the scope to the 11/16 meeting
