Skywatcher 120mm f/5 achromatic refractor in excellent condition, with 2” R&P focuser, 45 degree correct-image 1.25” diagonal, 90 degree 2” mirror diagonal, dual tube rings and dovetail plate, 10mm and 25mm eyepieces. The OTA and accessories are stored and transported in a lightweight metal toolcase with timber and foam supports.

This refractor comes with two mounts: an AZ3 alt-az mount with slow-motion controls on an aluminium tripod with adjustable legs; and a plywood dobsonian tabletop mount which offers quick setup, smooth movements in azimuth and altitude, and very stable views.

This wide-field instrument is ideal for scanning extended deep sky objects like asterisms, nebulae and star clusters; also (using the 45 degree correct-image diagonal) for exploring distant natural features in the landscape.

Asking $400. Inspect and collect from the Ryde area in Sydney, or could deliver to locations within 100km. Replies by PM please.
