Skywatcher ED120 Black Diamond

[Bolts_Tweed]

Gday - Time for this to go. It is a great scope visually and photographically but after all these years of covetting one I have finally got my hands on an Astro Physics. It comes in a hard case with a 2 inch 28 mm Skywatcher eyepiece and a 2 inch dielectric diagonal. You can have it like this with the standard 2 speed crayford focuser for $2000 or if you like I can include a Moonlite CF focuser with high res stepper motor (500 retail without postage from US) fitted for an extra $ 350 (that is 2350 total)

See Scope at http://www.skywatchertelescope.net/swtinc/product.php?id=143&class1=1&class2=100

Focuser at http://www.focuser.com/cgi-bin/dman.cgi?page=productdetail&plugin=dstore.cgi&product=CF

I have posted images taken with this scope on Skywatchers web site (Gabriela Mistral, M16 in Ha etc etc on this page http://www.skywatchertelescope.net/swtinc/gallery.php?class1=2&page_id=3#

I will post images of the scope next weekend when I retrievce it from the observatory - just seeing if anyone is interested at this stage.

If you want the focuser as well keep in mind you will need a controller. I use a moonlite controller but you can use a Cercis or whatever.

Prices firm - please PM if interested

Images of the scope. One includes the crayford you get if you want the scope with the moonlite focuser. I took an image of Gabriel Mistral nebula with it on the weekend and posted it under the deep sky section - note while it is ok (but weak on SII and OIII data) it is binned 2 x 2 (ie a quarter of the resolution popssible with this scope (and a ST8300 camera)

I'll take the focuser if you end up splitting the package. Pm if it goes that way.

Thanks
