For sale is this excellent Newtonian purchased new in November 2015. I took it to QLD Astrofest last year but otherwise it has hardly been used.
This is the latest version of these scopes sold by Saxon and Skywatcher. In this version they upgraded the focuser to dual-speed and shortened the tube slightly to provide more focus range for imaging. The optics are the same as before (meaning fantastic for the money).
I was very happy with this scope at Astrofest but my trips to dark skies are rare these days and I use my C8 at home since it's more convenient on my balcony.

The scopes comes with tube cap, rings, dovetail, finderscope and 1.25" eyepiece adapter/extension tube. I no longer have the 28mm eyepiece.
For visual use an extension tube is required. I substituted a Bintel 2" 35mm extension tube (
https://www.bintel.com.au/product/bi...-tubes-2-inch/) in place of the supplied 1.25" one and will include this in the package.
New price at MyAstroShop is $615. Asking $350. Pickup only in Ryde.
Enquiries by PM please.
