[hendo (Steve)]

Hi all,


I'm selling my 8" Skywatcher (SW-600) OTA (OTA has been sold to Peter and EQ5 mount has been SOLD to Andy - thanks guys!). The OTA is less then a year old, has hardly been used and is in absolutely immaculate condition.


I am selling it because I have recently upgraded to a 10" Skywatcher/EQ6.

Finderscope: Large 9x50
Focuser Diameter:2" with 1.25" adapter

Includes 2 Plossl eyepieces 10mm and 20mm
Tripod:1.5" rigid tube stainless steel tripod legs
Tube Dimensions:24cm x 92cm

The OTA looks exactly as shown in the link above but I am more than happy to provide photographs upon request.

If anyone is interested in in the SW-600 OTA only, my PM to Steve was to ask if he was interested in selling the EQ5 separately.

[hendo (Steve)]

The EQ5 mount is SOLD to Andy.


Now asking $250 for the SW-600 OTA (SOLD to Peter!)
