10" F 4.7 Skywatcher Newtonian OTA

Hi Trevor

Skywatcher list the weight of the OTA as 15kg.
I weighed the packaged scope on some bathroom scales at 22kg.
The size of the boxed scope is 1260mm long, 460mm wide ,490mm high.
Hope this helps.

Regards Bob

Thanks Bob, I will get back to you after 9am tomorrow after I go ask the PO what price to ship it. If I can't get it you will at least know the Postal cost

Also can u say if it is optimised for Photography. Not looking for a photo scope but the question was raised???

Thanks - Trev

Hi Trev , I just finished sending my 127mm triplet by OZ post and it weighed 19.76kg and it was under their 20kg limit by 240 gms , so I dont think they will take this at 22kg , also the size might be a little big . . sorry to be a downer but this would be better sent via TNT or similar courier company.
Good luck on the buy , this is a beauty .
Brian.
