What is this?

Just picked up this Skywatcher telescope from a council clean up. Can anyone identify what model this is or provide any other information.

Many thanks.

You can't. Nigel's copied and pasted the images from his computer, and you're seeing where they are saved on his drive.

Hey Adam,

Thanks for the advice. Apparently you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Nigel,

The pics worked !

Here is a link to the current Skywatcher version.

https://skywatcheraustralia.com.au/p...az2-refractor/

I'm sure there will be mixed opinions of what
you should do with your scope, but suffice to
say, in my opinion it's better being used in some form
than to be used as land fill.

Paul.

Thanks for that, Paul. I have some spare eyepieces so I am just going to clean it up and leave it on the balcony for quick views. As you say, much better than landfill.
