As I’m getting closer to retirement from the hobby, I’m reducing my collection of instruments to a few I can lift and handle easily. 

This scope is from the early 2000’s. I'm not the first owner. There are some tiny paint scratches on the tube as well as on various adapters. Please see photos.

This Takahashi FS-152 SV is a fluorite doublet lens 152mm (6” aperture) at F8 with 1216mm focal length. I’m including the Takahashi Flattener with it. This Flattener is dedicated to FS-152 SV telescopes only. It is a very hard to find item. They must be sold together.


Included:

  • Takahashi FS-152 SV Telescope
  • Takahashi Objective cover with removable central opening (52mm thread) for reduced aperture usage 
  • Takahashi 4” R&P Focuser with Adapter
  • Takahashi Prime Focus Adapter
  • 2” Visual Back Adapter made by Hutech consisting of M56-2” Compression adapter and M57 to M56 adapter for Takahashi scopes
  • Takahashi Flattener
  • 2 Rings and 2 Dovetail Plates
  • JMI Case

Optional item for $150: 

Starlight Instruments 3.5” Feather Touch Focuser Adapter for this FS-152 SV. It is also compatible with the Takahashi TOA-130. It will be needed if buyer would want to upgrade to 3.5” Feather Touch Focuser. I’m asking for $150 for this adapter. It is the last picture in the photo collection.


Delivery:
 

Local pickup only.

 

Due to the size, weight, and value of the scope, and cost of shipping and insurance, local pickup only is requested. 

I’m in the city of Oceanside in Southern California. I can arrange meeting the buyer within 100 miles radius from Oceanside.

Payment methods accepted: 

PayPal (please add 3% to cover PayPal fees to payment), Zelle, or Cash.

 

Thanks for looking.
