Sky Rover 130mm F/5 astrograph refractor

Up for sale is my 5.1” F/5 APO astrograph. I mostly call it an astrograph because it isn’t really suited to visual use due to limited back focus. It’s a triplet refractor with a 3 element corrector built into the focuser. Cosmetically it is in very good condition with the only blemish I can find being a small paint chip on the dew shield caused from a knock on the EQ6 head within a fortnight of receiving it a few years ago.

Optically I can say it is an excellent performer but I can let the images speak for themselves. Here is two of my favourites:
Eagle Nebula
Eta Carina Nebula

What is included:
- Sky Rover 130mm F/5
- Sharp Sky Pro autofocus kit (has 4 programable dew strap ports)
- 5” dew strap

It’s a ready astrophotography kit, just add any DSLR and you’ll be popping out images
Looking for $5,000 for the lot.
