TeleVue TV-85

Selling my beloved Tele Vue TV-85.
The TV-85 is Tele Vue's legendary 85mm f/7 APO doublet refractor. It's considered a true lifetime telescope, compact, airline-portable, razor-sharp, perfect for wide-field visual, travel, and grab-and-go observing. Built like a tank in the USA.

It's very hard to part ways with this one - I bought it to keep for life. Only selling because I have purchased a different telescope specifically for Night Vision application.

Condition:
Just over 1 year old, in mint condition optically and mechanically. Always stored capped with covers on. There is one small paint chip on the tube [shown clearly in photos] - cosmetic only, no impact on performance. Otherwise immaculate.

What's Included in the price:

1 - Tele Vue TV-85 85mm f/7 APO Doublet Refractor Telescope (with caps, original clamshell etc.)
2 - 2" Tele Vue Everbrite 90° Star Diagonal - top of the line dielectric
3 - 2" to 1.25" Eyepiece Adapter
4 - 3" OTA Mounting Ring
5 - Tele Vue Finder Bracket
6- Televue balancer plate
7- Televue travel soft bag

Ready to mount and observe.
