This is a red Z73III in very good condition, with clean optics. The body has a few cosmetic issues, including some marks in the paint where the handlebar was tightened too tightly. See the photos. However, it does not have the screws for attaching the handlebar to the rings. These cosmetic issues will not affect your use of the scope.
It comes in its original padded case, with the stock rings, handlebar, and Vixen dovetail. It also includes the Flat 73A focal reducer/field flattener (in yellow) with clean optics, but which also has some cosmetic issues, including scraping and chips in the paint.
We have heavily discounted this scope to reflect these cosmetic condition issues. New, the Z73 was $730 before it was discontinued. With the flattener ($242), this is a $972 value at over HALF OFF! At this price, it won't last!
Description
Zenithstar 73 III is a greatly versatile and portable refractor telescope for beginners and veterans alike. Designed for both astrophotography and wildlife photography, high power visual observing through the Zenithstar 73 is also hugely satisfying. The image is crisp, sharp and color aberration free thanks to the use of top quality glass — FPL-53. The 43mm image circle when Flat73 is used covers a full-frame size sensor nicely.
