Skywatcher Esprit 150ED for Tak TSA-120 or Mewlon 210

[DJ N]

Hi all

Putting a bit of a feeler out there. Would anyone be interested in trading their Takahashi TSA-120 for my Skywatcher Esprit 150ED? This Esprit is by far my favourite scope I have owned, but because of its weight (around 15 kg with rings and dovetail), I am using it far less than I should.

This OTA is in excellent condition. The scope puts up an absolutely exquisite star test, and I would absolutely welcome any test whatsoever. This planet season, I have regularly viewed Mars and Jupiter with my 3.5XW (300x).

The OTA comes with all the standard items including:
- Rings
- Dovetail
- 8x50 Right Angle Finder Scope
- Field flattener with adapters
- Diagonal and 28mm eyepiece (I haven’t used these so cannot provide details on quality)
- Padded (wheeled) case

I am located in Adelaide and dependant upon where you are coming from, would be willing to travel to meet you (halfway) to inspect/trade (now that COVID-19 restrictions have eased).

Please contact me via PM if you would like any further information.

Cheers

Daniel

Hi all

For reference, I have taken one image through the scope (earlier this year).... this is with my Olympus OMD EM5, with the scope mounted to my DM6, therefore no tracking.

The photo is a colour jpeg straight off the camera with no processing...
