NEW - SkyWatcher Black Diamond 10" Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope

Hi guys,

I have a brand new SkyWatcher Black Diamond 10" Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope for sale.
It is still in its box and has not even been assembled yet.
Bought it a few months back with plans on taking it to the blue mountains for observation sessions under dark skies (not worth deploying at home) but with the family having recently expanded I have not found the time to do so (have not been doing any astro actually) and it's unlikely I'll be able to take it for a few years at least, so sadly it has to go.

So it is all brand new in box, the mount is still in its flat pack. I have only opened the larger box to check the condition of the mirror - which is perfect as you would expect.

Comes with the following accessories included:
- Eyepieces: 10mm and 25mm
- 9x50 finderscope
- Ultra smooth crayford focuser

Specifications:

- Optical Design Newtonian (Parabolic)
- Diameter 254mm
- Focal Length 1200mm f/4.7
- Secondary Mirror Diameter 58mm
- Highest Practical Power 508x
- Faintest Steller Magnitude 14.7
- Resolving Power 0.45
- Finderscope 9X50
- Focuser diameter 53mm
- Eyepieces: Super Plossls 10 and 26mm (1.25*inch)
- Mount Type Dobsonian
- Ground Board Weight 12.5Kgs
- Tube Weight 15Kgs

I guess I could ship it with a courier, but given the size I'd be more comfortable if someone was willing to pick it up, but will look up an option if you are interstate or unable to pickup. I am located in Sydney.

The best price for it online is $900, selling here for $800.

Please PM if you have any questions.

Thanks
Tom
