Skywatcher 6" Black Diamond Telescope & HEQ5 Goto Mount
Scope has now been sold, but mount is still available.
Hi All, We are currently selling our 6" Skywatcher BD 150/750 Newtonian Reflector telescope and Skywatcher HEQ5 Goto Mount which we have been using for astrophotography for the last 12 months.
The OTA is in great condition with a clean mirror and comes with rings, dovetail bar, crayford focuser, finder scope and dust caps. This is a great small, fast telescope for astrophotography / imaging or general night sky viewing / observing. The HEQ5 mount includes the tripod with stainless steel legs, 2 counterweights, synscan handbox controller (firmware 3.36) and 12v power supply. We have been able to take 15 minute guided exposures with this setup without star trailing.
The attached image of galaxy NGC2997 was taken with this telescope from our front yard.
I have the mount and OTA advertised separately if anyone wants the mount or OTA only.
Pick up only from Craigieburn in Melbourne's northern suburbs (sorry, no post).
Asking $995.00
