For sale is a never used Tak FC-100DZ with K-Astec TB95 rings, MEF-3 focuser and Baader 2" click-lock visual back upgrades.  I purchased this scope from a user who never used it but he upgraded the MEF-3 and K-Astec rings after purchase.  I inspected it and agreed it appeared never used.  I upgraded the Baader visual back and also never used it and stored it inside in its box.  I did, however, accidentally made a very small ding on the paint (in one of the photos) the day I was installing the visual back when my ring on my finger rubbed against the paint.  The scope only left the box for inspections and installation of upgrades so has yet to see the sky.  I'm selling because I bought the super small FC-60 csv which is better for my small mount.  Included is all in the pics (original finder attachment, original 6x30 Tak finder, original Tak visual 2" visual back and original Tak 1.25' adapter, FC-100DZ, MEF-3 focuser, K-astec rings, Baader 2" visual back).  

My price is $2850 shipped to lower 48.  I'll ship overseas and/or Hawaii/Alaska but buyer pays shipping.  

The new price for this setup:
FC-100DZ - $3090 plus tax (approx $3200)
K-Astec rings - approx $110 but impossible to get
Baader click-lock - approx $120
MEF focuser - $264
TOTAL: approx $3700

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS:
I also have a FC-35 (used) 0.66x focal reducer that I'll add for $500 ($890 plus tax is the new price).  I will add photos later to this advert.

I also have an Optec FocusLynx QuickSync TKX motor (used) that I'll sell for $300.  This is designed to work with the MEF-3 focuser. 

Takahashi FC-100DZ Fluorite Refractor Telescope

The FC-100DZ is a fluorite doublet with a 100 mm aperture and an 800 mm focal length.   In this doublet design, Takahashi has paired the fluorite element with a low dispersion glass having a high refractive index.  This combination provides excellent optical performance across the entire visible spectrum with a Strehl ratio in excess of 97.6% across this range.  In addition, to satisfy the increasing demands of today’s imaging system, this glass combination minimizes the blue halo sometimes present at shorter wavelengths.  This halo intensity is reduced by about 50% when compared to the existing FC-100D.

The FC-100DZ is fully compatible with the accessories available used with the existing FC-100 telescopes, including the FC/FS Muli-flattener and the FC-35 0.66X Reducer.  With FC-35 reducer, this telescope becomes an excellent imaging system, illuminating a full frame chip at f/5.3.

Mechanically, the FC-100DZ has a tube diameter of 95 mm and a retractable dew shield.  With the dew shield retracted and accessories removed, the total length is only 595 mm, easily carried on most commercial flights.  The FC-100DZ utilizes the same focuser used on the FC-100DF and DL and weighs approximately 3.8 kg.
