Hi folks,
Time has come to thin the scope herd, :sadeyes:
I did a count of the number of instruments I have (over 12 in my stash :rolleyes: :screwy: :doh:), and the ones that I just do not use enough need new homes.
The Skywatcher Pro Series 65ED is the first that needs a new home. Sexy black beastie that needs more time spent with it than I can give it.
Scope is in pristine condition. Focal length 400mm. Dual speed focuser, focuser can be rotated by loosening the clamping ring, lens shield slides back down over OTA to shorten stowed length, built in Vixen style short dovetail with 1/4" tripod thread, 1.25" correct image diagonal, and comes in original sturdy foam padded, lockable skywatcher case (keys included). Also included is a Celestron 2X barlow that has a T-thread.
Asking $500, postage extra, or pick up from Maroubra (Sydney).
Dusty, old tripod not included... :rolleyes:
Additional specs can be found on the Skywatcher site for their Equinox 66 OTA (http://www.skywatcher.com/product.php?cat=2&id=34) as these scopes are essentially the same.
