For sale - 8" f5 SkyWatcher newtonian
Am selling my 12-month-old 8" reflector.
Pretty much as new. Just a couple of small but handy mods (ie primary mirror fan etc)
Will consider including the EQ5 mount and tripod it came with.
http://myastroshop.com.au/products/d...asp?id=MAS-028
PM me with offers if you're interested. This would make a very nice scope for someone looking for a nice 1st scope, or an increase of a little more aperture over a 4 1/2" or 6" reflector.
Does not come supplied with MoonLite CR2 focuser, but regreased R&P focuser

Gee...
you don't want much, do you Paul!
Actually, yes, but I think the handpad needs a little TLC.
They're these ones:
http://myastroshop.com.au/products/d...asp?id=MAS-021
Which makes the scope/mount/motors package new = $1300 and that's not including the primary cooling mod etc
Actually, come to think of it, I'm probably mad to be selling it at this price

Nope

Can't wait for the 8". I've been having so much fun with Jenny's little 3" EQ Newt the 8" will be great.
