This is a SW Evolux 62ED apo with the 0.9x field flattener/focal reducer in its original hard-sided case.  It is in only good condition, as opposed to very good or excellent.  Notably, there is some spotting on the interior of the objective.  See the photos. 

Similarly, the 0.9x field flattener/focal reducer is in very good condition; but there is some minor spotting on the interior of the optics as well.  See the photos. 

There is some sticking in the focuser knob.  It moves throughout the range of focus, and can be placed wherever you want it.  However, the range of motion is not smooth:  there are points where it is easier to turn the focus knob, and points where it is harder.  On the other hand, the focuser does not get stuck in any position - it does continue past the harder points.    

The dew shield shows some scratches, and there are plenty of bite-marks on the Vixen dovetail, which show that this was well-used.  

We have adjusted the price accordingly to take these condition issues into consideration, giving you a bargain at almost HALF-OFF, $350.

Building on the foundation of the popular Evostar line of refractors, Sky-Watcher has developed the all new Evolux. Designed for the savvy astrophotographer looking for a lightweight scope that still packs a punch with key upgrades in the optics and the mechanics, Evolux is a perfect fit for a widefield grab and go setup. Sky-Watcher’s Evolux apochromatic doublet refractors are the perfect blend of superior extra-low dispersion glass and affordability. The lens assembly utilizes a proprietary combination of matched lenses, delivering tack-sharp stars with charcoal-black, contrast-rich skies. All ED glass elements feature our proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings™ (MHTC™), virtually eliminating all false color while the adjustable dew shield prevents stray light and condensation from affecting your photography. Evolux comes in a foam-lined aluminum case with a 2.4-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion-style focuser, dual finderscope brackets, a V-style dovetail, clamshell ring, adjustable dew shield, and the optional reducer/corrector.
