Skywatcher Pro Gold Tube 6" (150mm) Maksutov Cassegrain OTA in very good condition.


Diameter/Aperture: 150mm
Focal length: 1800 mm
Highest Practical Power: 300x
f/Ratio: f12
Tube weight with mounting bar: 4.5kg

Optics are clean. Cleaned finder scope, no more spot.

Comes with:


Original front cap
Original 8x50 straight through finder
1.25" back with t-thread (2" diagonal can be mounted via adapters, see picture)
Vixen-style mounting bar (has some marks)
ProStar 1.25" diagonal (it's usable, but condition isn't that great).

I bought this wonderful scope a month ago here on IIS.
Love it, great contrast on Jupiter.

The only reason I am already selling it is:
I had very good luck and could upgrade to the even
bigger version of this scope, the 180mm Gold Pro Mak.
There is no cure for aperture fever :).

New pictures as requested.

Reduced to $439 + shipping (about $30-$50)

PMs only please.

Looks good. I'm a newbie so could you tell me how heavy this scope is so I can work out which mount I would need to purchase.
