HI guys came across this scope on ebay! Its retail price on TELESCOPE-SERVICE is €1000. Its for sale for €660 from this seller from spain(shipping shouldnt be too bad). This is quite similar to the william optics Megrez 90! Could be a nice bargain???

Wow. That looks like a bargain alright. If the lens is anywhere near as good as the Megrez it should provide a much flatter field being a triplet.
+ the CNC rings seem to be included.

That's a saving in 300 bucks on the flattener and rings alone! The William Optics scopes only come with a diagonal - no rints, RDF, flattener. They do come with a hard case though.

You should be charging finder fees Matthew :wink:

It seems like a good opportunity to own a high end APO refractor at a medium refractor price!!! Ive seen what trevors Mz 90 can do and if this came even CLOSE to it its a Brilliant scope!!! Any triplet is going to be good!

Its the higher quality Fl-53 glass aswell! Same as the megrez!

Maybe dave! ive contacted the seller for more info. That info is taken right off TS s website but then again there is a better chance of selling it if it is in english and not spanish!
