Hi all,
With much regret am selling my Skywaycher 300p goto dob.
Comes with: 9x50 finder scope, Skywatcher shroud, single speed focuser.
Also includes a Sky-watcher synscan wifi adaptor.
Note: this version does NOT have the Wifi adaptor built-in i'm offering it as an add-on. It will replace the hand controller and connect to your mobile phone synscan app.
Reason for selling: I'm buying a 5 inch triplet APO and need funds.
This is an excellent visual tool, although I used it for a bit of astrophotography as well (pics attached). Collimation is a breeze and it keeps collimation really well for the secondary mirror. For the primary you need to collimate almost every time if you move it.
I've always kept it indoors when not in use, the tube has some scratches (came from sticky tape that was accidentally stuck on it) But no dents or damage.
Mirrors are clean and views are very sharp!
It tracks really well!
The velcro attached to bottom of tube is for balance when trying out astrophotography (not required for visual observation).
Note that eyepiece is NOT part of the sale.
Price: 1700 AUD negotiable within reason. Pickup plz Blacktown, NSW
This thing cannot be posted. I'm open to driving up to Newcastle, down to Wollongong or west to Blue mountains to deliver it......but you probably might want to come yourself and take a look.

Reason: Price drop, adding things
IceTrade Classifieds is a free service provided to IceInSpace members to help encourage and promote astronomy in our community.
So just to be upfront the pictures I've taken with it were with a Mallincam reducer/corrector (also on sale on here)
And a 2 speed focuser installed. That focuser not for sale here I'm using it for my other imaging Newtonian.
The focuser attached to this scope is a single speed one which not that good. It's still perfectly fine for visual though.
But I'll reduce the price to 1900 AUD pickup plz.
