Do you want to experience the renowned Sky-Watcher's Esprit 120mm - an FPL-53 triplet f/7 but don't want to spend $4200 to do it?
This is the same lens cell wrapped in Sky-Watcher's prior tube - gorgeous Carbon Fiber - and marketed as their Quantum 120ED. Try it, and if you decide to spend the $4200, sell this at cost. Cheap long term trial.
Includes all standard items (the case, custom flattener, 50mm finder, 2" diagonal, rings), Bahtinov focusing mask and losmandy dovetail.
Couple of reasons for the deep discount on this excellent refractor, the focuser lock won't lock (hasn't been an issue) and the glass is not pristine. There is some blemish between the lenses. Very small, static. Imperceptible effect on imaging, zero on visual. But it's an emotional step function like virgin/non-virgin. I'll want you to see it in person so that you can be assured that it's a really great scope.
