Open this time capsule and experience the golden age of Japanese build quality all over again NRO’s source in Japan made this incredible find: a high-quality reflector and GP mount with tripod — all in pristine, never-used condition. Each and every component of this complete telescope/mount/tripod set, including all accessories, was entirely nihon sei (made in Japan); estimated date of manufacture, November 1998 (see label imprint by Vixen logo on outer box in last photo). Specifications: objective diameter, 114 mm; focal length, 900 mm (F7.9)Light-gathering power, 263X; resolving power, 1.16 arc sec OTA length, 37.4 in / 950 mm; weight, 3.7 kg / 8.15 lb (I think)Everything is just as it was when received by the original buyer (who then, for reasons never to be known, placed it in storage for the past 25+ years). The tape on the left-hand Styrofoam OTA block shown in the photos was cut by NRO for the first time… then all components of the set were assembled — for the first time ever — with extreme care (to the extent possible, bits of masking tape were placed at all points of metal-to-metal contact) in order to preserve the items’ pristine condition while taking photographs for this listing. It’s difficult to capture in photos, but the mirror is absolutely spotless, without even a speck of dust and no visible signs of deterioration of the mirror surface. (In NRO’s quick daylight field test, tree limbs/leaves were tack sharp through the K20mm eyepiece at about 100 yards, suggesting the collimation is good and the scope is ready for action right out of the box.) In addition to the OTA with original front cap, the listing includes everything needed to get started viewing right away: Vixen Great Polaris equatorial mount with standard 20mm shaft and 2.8 kg counterweight (this is the GP-E version, without setting circles, polar axis scope, or RA/DECL motors) Vixen AL 2-section aluminum tripod with stabilizing spreader; in order to protect the condition, NRO did not extend the legs, but it looks like the tripod platform would be roughly twice as high as shown when the legs are fully extended. 6 x 30 finder scope with original front and rear capsViewing accessories: Vixen 20mm Kellner and 6mm H.M. eyepieces, Vixen 2X Barlow lens, and eyepiece adapter (all in 0.965-inch format)2 original GP fine motion controls (1 each for RA and DECL axes), original hex wrench and spare wingnut/bolt, and original Vixen green-lidded plastic accessory box**Please note: The GP mount is eminently upgradable to motorized RA-only tracking, RA+DECL tracking, or full go-to capabilities with separate purchase of pulse/stepper motors and a suitable controller available in the resale market or from a variety of manufacturers (AstroGadget, Skywatcher, many others); none of these optional items are included in this listing.** Everything shown will be shipped in the original factory packaging shown in photos. **Adult signature required on delivery.** Thanks for visiting Nippon Rare Optics!Premium optics sourced from Japan ▪ Fast, free shipping from U.S.-based seller
