Selling my like-new Skywatcher MN190, upgraded with a Moonlite 2.5" electronic focuser and a Primalucelab losmandy plate. Also included is a Geoptik padded bag, along with a 1kg weight to counter balance. All for
$3200.
(The new scope alone costs $2899 today, and this whole setup would be ~$5k new).
The scope is a beautiful, fast (f/5.3), flat field astrograph, with round stars right upto the corners of even APS-C sensors. Holds collimation like a tank (collimated after change of focuser a year back, and never since). I have attached an uncalibrated, untouched 300s sub taken with the 2600mm. The MN design means no stuffing around with backfocus - just plug and play.
Optics and tube are in pristine condition, as you'll see in the images. Has been my primary imaging scope so always stored with desiccants in the padded bag, with a desiccant tube in the eyepiece holder to keep insides dry.
For pickup in and around Sydney. Can post locally if buyer arranges shipping and pickup.
