I have written down in detail all the extras that are included with this scope as well as have taken, and attached pictures.

Eyepieces.
All the eyepieces are Plossl and 1.25"

The 25mm and 10mm multi-coated eyepieces came packaged with the Skywatcher telescope and are 52deg.

The 40mm, 20mm, 15mm and 6mm fully multi-coated eyepieces are BINTEL brand and details of these exact eyepieces can be found at their website in the link below. They are also all 52deg with the exception of the 40mm which is 45deg.

Barlow.
The 2x Barlow is BINTEL brand and details of it can be found here;

Filters.
All filters are BINTEL brand and are 1.25" to suit above eyepieces. Further details can be found here;

Green #56
Orange #21
Blue #80A
Yellow #12
Red #23A
Moon Filter #ND 96 (0.9 density; 13% transmission)

Battery.
The EQ6 mount absolutely chews up the DD batteries required so I purchased a Diamec sealed rechargeable 12 V battery (DM12-7.2). It comes with both the connector to the telescope as well as the mains recharger. This battery will last you at least 10 long sessions before needing to be recharged.

Photos are all attached.

Telescope and Mount.

Skywatcher Explorer 250PX EQ6 as detailed in my initial post.

ALL FOR $1400


I have also attached a pic with the original Styrofoam packaging for those interested in transporting it.

Cheers
