10” Saxon Goto Dobsonian

Selling as I upgraded to a 16”. Was going to keep as a portable scope but the 16” is easier to transport than I thought so I don’t use this often. Mirrors are in excellent condition.

Features include:
  • Fully goto. Max slewing is around 5deg/second. That’s FAST. It’s also very accurate.
  • GPS which auto updates location and time
  • WiFi for handset and phone control (I use SkySafari, but any one should work)
  • Separate wireless hand controller
  • Temperature and pressure sensor (useful if you add an auto-dew controller)
  • Upgraded az bearing
  • Clutch mechanisms to disengage motors for transport and for manual use

Happy to demonstrate prior to purchase. $1150 o.n.o.
