UPDATED - Skywatcher 10" reflector on EQ6 plus extras - $1400

Hello,

I am looking at upgrading to a 16inch LightBridge but my wife says I will have to sell my current telescope to fund it. I am hoping someone on here might be interested.

The telescope is the Skywatcher Explorer 250PX EQ6. It's the exact model as the one shown in the link below;

http://www.firstlightoptics.com/prod...?prod=250pxeq6

Highest Practical Power (Potential): x500
Diameter of Primary Mirror: 250mm
Telescope Focal Length: 1200mm (f/4.8)
Eyepieces Supplied (1.25"): 10mm & 26mm (also 3 more Plossl of my own)
X2 Deluxe Barlow Lens 1.25" (with camera adaptor)
Dual-Fit 1.25"/2" Crayford Focuser
Parabolic Primary Mirror (Pyrex Glass)
0.5mm Ultra-Thin Secondary Mirror Supports
9x50 Finderscope
Direct SLR Camera Connection
EQ6 Super Heavy-Duty Equatorial Mount
Built-in Dual-Axis Motor Drives
Built-in Polar Alignment Scope Holder
2" Stainless Steel Pipe Tripod with Accessory Tray
56% more Light Gathering than 200mm


The telescope is 3 years old and I have had it since new. I take great care of all my equipment and therefore is in perfect condition.

Interested in $1600. NOW $1400

I live in Melbourne and can arrange pickup or if you live nearby I can deliver it for you. I would not have a clue even where to begin packing this up or who to send it through but if you are happy to pay for postage I am happy to send it.

Cheers

Peter
