Lightbulb Updated 6" Skywatcher MakCass Gold Pro

Skywatcher Pro Gold Tube 6" (150mm) Maksutov Cassegrain OTA in very good condition.
  • Diameter/Aperture: 150mm
  • Focal length: 1800 mm
  • Highest Practical Power: 300x
  • f/Ratio: f12
  • Tube weight with mounting bar: 4.5kg
Optics are clean. Cleaned finder scope, no more spot.

Comes with:
  • Original front cap
  • Original 8x50 straight through finder
  • 1.25" back with t-thread (2" diagonal can be mounted via adapters, see picture)
  • Vixen-style mounting bar (has some marks)
  • ProStar 1.25" diagonal (it's usable, but condition isn't that great).
I bought this wonderful scope a month ago here on IIS.
Love it, great contrast on Jupiter.

The only reason I am already selling it is:
I had very good luck and could upgrade to the even
bigger version of this scope, the 180mm Gold Pro Mak.
There is no cure for aperture fever .

New pictures as requested.

Reduced to $439 + shipping (about $30-$50)

PMs only please.
