Skywatcher Black Diamond 200mm f/5 Newtonian OTA

Thinking of selling my scope to upgrade. It's the same as this one: http://myastroshop.com.au/products/d...p?id=MAS-069A3

Specs:
Aperture: 200mm
Focal length: 1000mm
Focal ratio: f/5

Comes with:
2" focuser
9x50 finderscope
Two finderscope bases
Tube rings
Vixen dovetail (30cm)
Eyepiece extension tube (1.25")
End cap


The mirrors are in good condition and I was able to see magnitude 12 galaxies at Astrofest last month. The optics give good planetary views as well as deep sky.

There are a couple of minor dents near the base of the tube that were there when I bought it (I'm the second owner). They don't affect the performance.

Asking $280 or best offer. Pickup from Sydney (Ryde).

Attached photo was taken last month at Astrofest (mount & tripod not included).

Enquiries by PM please.
