SkyWatcher 100MM Esprit ED Triplet APO Refractor Telescope

Hello, I am selling my near new Skywatcher 100mm Esprit ED Triplet APO Refractor. Price $2300. I have been in the hobby for a number of years and it is time to step back. 

Why is it popular for Astrophotography

The Esprit 100 strikes a sweet spot between portability and optical performance. Because the dew shield retracts, it is as compact as many 80mm refractors but provides the light-gathering and resolution of a 100mm scope. The triplet lens virtually eliminates false color (chromatic aberration) and delivers pinpoint stars right to the edge of full-frame sensors when used with the included flattener.

Price $2300
