6" f/8 Skywatcher refractor

Hi all,

6" f/8 Skywatcher achromat refractor. OTA has been used, and being so large the paintwork is a little scuffed. Optics though are in pristine condition. Comes with an 8X50 finder, objective lens cap, 2" to 1.25" adapter, 1.25" diagonal and a Celestron kellner eyepiece as diagonal plug, 2" plug for focuser and 1.25" cap for diagonal. Also comes with tube rings and a Vixen style dovetail bar.

Mount is a GSO dual axis motorised mount that can handle this size OTA. Comes with handset and counterweights - pictures of scope show it balanced on the mount with these counterweights. Handset offers a variety of slewing speeds for both axis. Counterweight shaft can take HEQ5 and NEQ6 counterweights. I have a cigarette lighter power cord for it too. Tripod has a built in bullseye spirit level. Mount comes with a Bintel Vixen style dovetail puck.

OTA - asking $575 SOLD

Mount - asking $225 SOLD

No cases for either, so pick up from Maroubra in Sydney.

Thanks for looking,

Alex.
