A 6-inch grab-n-go delight. Clear imagery, and holds collimation surprisingly well between uses. Mirrors are pristine. Now surplus to my needs, so selling to make someone as happy as it made me.
I've had a lot of lovely nights under the stars with this one. Great for quick setup in the back yard, or for popping into the car to that special dark place.
The OTA uses Vixen dovetail to attach to base; setup, balance, and stow are easy. It's really astonishing how small a 6-inch F5 scope can be.
Note that the pics in "stow" position show a foam pad under the OTA, which makes travel and storage easy on the scope.
Sight is red-dot, focus is 1.25" bezel-adjust.
This is not the GoTo model, so I've added a new base with a setting circle (comes with original base too). Add a $20 magnetic digital level and Stellarium or Sky Safari and you've got an alt-az aiming system. Using those tools, I've tracked down dim DSOs from my Bortle-5 back yard in seconds.
Price is $290.
Pickup only from Blaxland, NSW, in the lovely Blue Mountains.
