16" Dobsonian Telekit

[SOLD]

16" Telekit Dobsonian for sale. Can be viewed and tested in person near Hobart TAS.

Immaculately finished Baltic Birch ply construction, comes complete with the following features:

  • 16" F5 Mark Suchting primary mirror with rear fan cooling
  • Starlight instruments 2" Feather Touch focuser
  • Filter slide (accommodates four 2" filters)
  • Argo Navis DSC
  • ServoCat goto and tracking
  • SkyFi wireless control - control the scope from your laptop, tablet or phone
  • Motorised primary mirror cell collimation screws.
  • Roster-tail table and wheelbarrow handles
  • 2x 7.5Ah 12V internal batteries and charger
  • Battery voltage, mirror and outside temperature monitor
  • Holographic laser collimator
  • Telrad finder
  • Manuals and software

This scope is a pleasure to set up and use. The motorised primary mirror cell and secondary mirror thumb screws allow for incredibly fast, accurate and easy collimation from the focuser end using a holographic laser collimator (included) and the motor control hand pad.

The Argo Navis and ServoCat perform flawlessly to find and track objects. Manual scope movement is smooth and has just the right amount of "stiction" to allow for swapping the smallest 1.25" and largest 2" ep without the need for re-balancing.

$5500.00 pick up, negotiable.
