It's Great to be a Husky!

This is the Q50 you'd have hand-picked if Questar had offered you the opportunity. It could be in your hands next week. No waiting 9 - 15 months for delivery! It was built in 2012 and so is more than 10 years "fresher" than the earliest units. In fact, it was likely (#209) one of the last 30 Q50s that were sold. I bought it about 8 years ago from the original owner. Virtually perfect (PV 1/14 RMS 1/77) quartz optics? Yes. All the original paperwork? Yes. Powerguide II? Yes. Full aperture solar filter? Yes. Beautiful leather case? Both original eyepieces? Yes. Like-new condition? Yes. Reasons to keep looking for a better Questar? None. The price is $8350. Yes, it will be shipped to you in an original Questar shipping barrel. But do you live in Reno? San Francisco? Sacramento? LA? Las Vegas? San Diego? I'm willing to meet you halfway. Additional photos or information? Please just ask. Thanks - Ernie
