For sale is a the 12'' Mewlon300. This is the finest scope that I own, or the largest one in Tak seires. S/N is 08001 (I believe the 1st one in 2008). You know how good this scope is by simply searching. 

I was planning to hold it for a long time (if not life long). The problem is that I also own a C14HD and I only have one dome to put my mount and scope there. My C14HD is a workhorse for planetary imaging and I don't have time/energy to switch it back and forth too often. So after a few years of having it, I decide to let it find a better home. Most of time is was just sitting inside my house. I attached a photo that have my C14HD in my dome and a this Mewlon300 together (Yeah C14HD for imaging while Mewlon for visual). I enjoyed a lot visualing Saturn and Jupiter this season. Jupiter is amazing at 500x with binoviewing!

Overall it is in excellent condition. Clean main mirror. Maybe a few tiny paint chips around the ring area on the body but I don't feel it is bothering at all. There are also a few rust spots on the metal secondary spider, which is also just cosmetic. 

Comes with the following
1) OTA
2) Original focuser with extended cable
3) Mounting rings and mounting plates(forgot the brand, but it is big and solid)
4) Visual tube on the back. 
5) Two Takahashi CounterWeights
6) Front cover

Note the top thin black rail is not included (belonging to one of my friends to serve as a handle)

For additional $200 I'll throw in the Pelican 1780 case, that can hold/protect the scope well

Ask for $7750 net to me. Due to the size/weight, a pickup is preferred. I am in Carmel, CA 93923 or San Jose, CA. Otherwise buyer pays for packing/shipping (CONUS only) and insurance.

Paypal, Money order/Zelle/Venmo, personal check/money order are all fine. Please add 3%
Paypal fee is using Paypal pay for goods.
