So...

I have pretty much decided (and confirmed through practice) that I am an 
observer who might take an occasional sky photograph.  Definitely not the other 
way around.  I purchased this very nice instrument for the sole purpose of 
putting it to work crafting magnificent astrophotos.  At least, that was the 
intent.

I can tell you that it renders exquisite visual planetary and lunar detail and 
splits a mean double star (ode to Mr. Harshaw).   I could not tell you, from 
personal experience, what sort of photographs it might allow.  I hear it might 
be pretty good at that.  Governor Wiles would know.  He used one, with 
jaw-dropping results, before he graduated to its bigger brother.

Anyway, this ED127 is NOT a carbon tubed wonder.  It's a 2010 vintage aluminum 
job with all the goodies Explore Scientific shipped with it:  2" dielectric 
diagonal, 2", decent 25mm ES eyepiece. illuminated reticule 9x50 finderscope 
and nice, heavy duty case, removable dew shield.   Very smooth 2 speed Crayford 
focuser.    Focal ratio is 7.5  (952mm focal length).  Condition is, 
essentially, as new.

As much as I hate to let it go, I cannot justify keeping it, given the use it 
gets.  I am confident someone will be very happy with this telescope.

I'd need to get $1200 for it on a local sale.  FIRM.

Thanks!
