Skywatcher, short tube F5.
This is an Optical Tube only with a 2" focuser. No diagonal is provided or a 1.25" adapter. It is also missing the dew shield. It does however have a cover to protect the front lens and makes the scope easy to transport.
The scope is old (I brought it secondhand about 3 years ago) , but in reasonable condition. Everything works OK. The front lens has a few marks on it, but the performance is not notably affected.
It is good for wide angle viewing. I was fortunate that there was a number of comets around after I purchased it and the scope was a great gab & go to view these. For viewing the Moon and planets, other scopes are better.
I am only selling because I have far too many scopes.
$80 posted to the Eastern States. Ask for a quote to SA or WA. A discount will be provided for local pickup.
