Skywatcher 102/500 F5, Refractor with Star Explorer Alt/Az GOTO mount
For sale is my as new SW 102/500 F5 refractor, less than six(6) months old.
Bought as a travel scope for primarily astro work but also for viewing the oil rigs and whales in the southern ocean, the outfit has performed flawlessly.
I have enjoyed many happy hours but now it is time to upgrade.
An ideal outfit for travel or as a first telescope – and with Xmas coming, a great gift for someone, at a substantial saving over new replacement cost.
The unit is fully computerised for the wide-field observation of Deep-Sky objects, such as Nebulae, Star Fields, Star Clusters and Galaxies with over 40,000 objects stored in the database. A useful telescope also for astrophotography and also for daytime terrestrial use with the 45 degree erecting diagonal supplied..

I have disconnected the 8 x AA battery holder and fitted a 12V car adapter and fuse to the power cable (battery holder also supplied )
