Skywatcher 10 inch Flextube Dobsonian

Skywatcher Black Diamond collapsible (FlexTube) 10 inch Dobsonian, F4.7 ($1200 new).
Used, but good condition.
This comes with:
- upgraded 10:1 Skywatcher Crayford dual-speed focuser ($200 new)
- shroud ($69 new)
- GSO 50 mm straight through finder
- original 25 and 10 mm eyepieces
- 2 inch and 1.25 inch drawtube extensions
- lid and cover
- self-made light/airflow baffle in tube as shown
- I provide a quick rundown on how to set up and collimate.
- I can throw in a self made push/pull fan system (removed for photos) to be velcroed on the tube as well if you are interested.

$800 Pick-up only from Lilydale, VIC. Cash, bank deposit or PayPal.

10 inch is quite a sizable aperture and I'm amazed again and again at what I can see with it. At a site with close to m6 stars I could see stars down to m15 without trying too hard. I've seen the horsehead as a notch in IC434 and galaxies to >500 Mly.
Mirror is freshly cleaned for sale.
This scope collapses down nicely and fits in most if not all cars.
