Orion 100mm f/9 ED Refractor -2008-11-19

I have an Orion 100mm f/9 ED refractor for sale. This scope is a great buy for a 4 inch class refractors. Extra low dispersion glass element (ED) means that there is virtually no color aberration. This is an optical tube assembly (OTA) which means it has no diagonal or eye pieces. I have added mounting rings and a dovetail mounting rail. OTA without the rings and rail retailed for $999 but I will sell all for $550. The scope is in very good condition with only slight indications of usage. I will ship at the buyer’s expense but prefer to deliver or you pink up in the Albuquerque area. Contact Dale Murray at dwmurray.1@netzero.com or call (505)286-9533
