Hello all,
I am looking to sell an excellent condition RCOS 14.5in. I bought this used a couple years ago, and this has sat in my observatory in West Texas for various reasons (first the mount needed repairs and then my camera died). I haven't had the time to go out to my observatory and get this all sorted out and working. Instead, I am going to list this and list it to see if anyone is interested in getting it. 

At this price ($8500), the scope will come with all accessories that I got when I bought the scope. This includes the original TCC and PIR 82. 

As a note though, I did remove the original PIR and installed a Moonlite WR35 on the back of the scope. This was for a couple of reasons - 1) I did not want to rely on old drivers for TCC and PIR and 2) I just like the back-of-the-scope focuser more than the secondary mirror focuser. The secondary mirror focuser works fine, just that I am not too interested in using it. I haven't removed the secondary focuser, so that sits right there. If you want me to include the WR35, I can do that, but that will be an added expense of $2600 bringing the total for the scope to $11,100. 

I will prefer if you can pick this up from my observatory in West TX. However, I am more than happy to crate and ship this to you, assuming you are willing to cover those costs (I am not sure what those costs will be, but they will be substantial). 

Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures of the scope. If you want, I can have my observatory manager take some pictures and send it you. 

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Thanks and CS!
