I am selling my SkyWatcher Quattro 200mm F/4 optical tube with accessories. This telescope was purchased to use for astrophotography workshops but proved not suitable for two reasons (1) not suiting full frame cameras (2) collimation shifts easily when transported. As a personal telescope for astrophotography at a home, using a smaller than full-frame sensor, the fast focal ratio and price point make it very attractive.
There is a range of extra accessories I am selling with the optical tube. The full list is below and provides a reasonably complete starting configuration for this optical tube.
The optical tube is in excellent conditions with the mirrors very clean, like new. All other equipment is in new or as new condition, well looked after in secure packing cases when transported.
I am looking to sell this as one package.
Location: Perth WA, pickup Mundaring area. Looking to sell it locally rather than ship.
