Thanks for looking:

I have this item now surplus, and needing to clear some room.

The item is about 6 months old, and I have only used it once, Ive had it from new, RRP over 300

The model I have for sale is the one listed above, images are of the actual unit for sale, item is in a great condition due to minimal usage by myself, bar a small piece is missing, eye piece holder for the base, doesn’t affect the unit obviopusly!

I have found a review and some technical information for the unit:

“The Skyliner 200s flat-packed base is very easy to build and set up, and comes with excellent instructions.The optics were sharp across 80% of the 1 degree field of view.We were very pleased with the appearance of all the test objects we even managed to find the Crab Nebula, M81 and M82 in near-full Moonlight, whereas the other scopes were struggling. Under darker skies the Double Cluster had that Wow factor when it was centred using the 25mm eyepiece, as did M35. The Pleiades (M45) was just a bit too large to fit in the field of view, but the main central stars looked stunning.Turning to Saturn, the view really took our breath away: we saw five moons, a clear-cut Cassini Division and a colour difference between the A and B rings. Not only that, but Saturn also displayed a prominent belt with this scope planetary detail is certainly not compromised.Fans of deep-sky observing would certainly find the Skyliner satisfying.The Skyliner was a joy to use. BBC SKY AT NIGHT MAGAZINE

Features and specification:

    Magnifications (with eyepieces supplied): x48 & x120
    Highest Practical Power (Potential): x406
    Diameter of Primary Mirror: 203mm
    Telescope Focal Length: 1200mm (f/5.91)
    Eyepieces Supplied (1.25″): 10mm & 25mm
    Dual-Fit 1.25″/2″ Crayford-style Focuser
    Parabolic Primary Mirror with Protective Silicon-Dioxide Overcoat
    Super-smooth Azimuth Movement with Teflon Pads
    Diffraction Limited Optics
    0.5mm Ultra-Thin Secondary Mirror Supports
    9×50 Finderscope
    Direct SLR Camera Connection

Due to size of the unit, I have marked it as collection only, item based at friends house near Stanstead, about 5min drive from Stanstead Airport, J8 on the M11. Cash on collection preferred.
