Since I don't know how to attach an image to a PM, I'm posting this here at the request of a buyer from Melbourne. It's taken with the modd'd 300D which is why it looks distinctly pink.

Hi Grady, yes, sure. The Skywatcher can go for 150 but the Celestron is in a padded case, and is in as-new condition. It'd have to go about 350. It's the better scope but ....
Let me know and I'll reserve one for you.

Images. The SW90 has a 1 1/4 inch adapter already included. The Celestron 90 is designed for use with an erecting prism (see image) but I have a Celestron T-Thread Adapter for it that can go for an extra $70. The aluminium case the scopes are sitting on is for the Celestron and it can be thrown in for say $30. The Celestron comers with a Celestron 25mm Plossl and the diagonal. Note that I have also moiunted it on a shoe that will sit straight into a standard Vixen saddle so you can whack it in a side-by-side setup for guiding.

Hey peter sorry about the wait. The Celstron looks great but sadly is out of my range (i have recently/will spend my spare cash on getting a orion starshot guide cam) that leaves me with enough money to either get your skywatcher (would buy mounting rings for it for piggyback) or a new 80mm refrac from sirius optics (with rings already inc). My final question is how are the optics for the skywatcher are they are good tube looks like its seen better days haha?

[pmrid (Peter)]

Yes Grady, you'll need some rings. The optics are fine but why not just check it out at Astrofest. I'll hold it for you until Saturday morning. A previous owner painted the ting black and now that paint peels like bad sunburn.
