Takahashi SKY-90 II 500mm F5.6 APO + Mount + Heaps of extras

A complete tiny travel telescope for visual observing or astrophotography - No longer made.

The Sky 90 II itself is in near mint condition with perfect optics. The focuser has been upgrade to the feather touch which is a huge improvement. The standard Tak Clamshell and Primalucelab Tube Rings are included.

In addition the following accessories are included.

  • Tak 6x30 finder with quick release bracket
  • Sky 90 Field Flattner (407mm F4.5)
  • Camera Angle Adjuster
  • EXQ-1.6x (800mm Focal Length)
  • 1.25" Tak Diagonal
  • 2" Tak Extension Tube
  • All adaptors required to use either 2" or 1.25" Eyepieces or cameras.

The mount is a VAMO traveler - 1.4kg and very smooth. Just stick it on any camera or surveying tripod (standard 3/8 thread in the base). The price on these is now something like $750 AUD alone - I paid a bit less some years ago.

I have the original shipping box for the scope and will post anywhere in Australia at the listed price.

I would very much like to sell it as a complete kit to someone as my first preference. I'm sure I could make more selling all the individual parts, but I'd quite like to see it go as a complete system for someone to just use and enjoy - hopefully this is a pretty fair price.

$2850 AUD shipped anywhere in Australia.
