SKYWATCHER SW80 SHORT-TUBE 80mm REFRACTOR + MOUNT + ALUMINIUM TRIPOD
Sydney, NSW
Excellent beginner's scope or piggyback scope
I bought this complete telescope from BINTEL in Sydney in January 2009, but have only had time to use it about four times, and feel that I will not use it much in the future. As such, I can safely say it is in close to new condition (no scratches, no drops, clean lenses).
The short-tube refractor is a very portable scope ideal for terrestrial and low-power astronomical observations. It would go great in a backpack or on the balcony of a suburban apartment.
Specifications:
- Aperture: 80mm
- Focal Length: 400mm f/5
- Two-element, air-spaced, fully multi-coated objective lens
- Aluminum tube
- Dew cap/Sunshade
- 6x30 finderscope for easy location of targets
- Eyepieces: Plossl 10mm and 25mm
- Highest Practical Power 190x
- 45° Erecting Diagonal
- Smooth rack-and-pinion 1.25" focuser
- Skywatcher AZ3 Alt-Az mount with slow motion controls
I will also include the remaining of my telescope accesories:
- Bintel Moon Filter
- Bintel 12mm and 15 mm Plossl eyepieces (including the 10mm and 15mm that Skywatcher provide)
- Skywatcher Red and White LED torch
- A starwheel and a couple of observation books if you would like them
Asking price: $250.00
Pickup can be made from Rozelle, Sydney (10 minutes from the CBD)

All the best,
