This is a reluctant sale of a fantastic telescope. I’m selling due to the fact I haven’t had the time to use it as much as I would like. This telescope has provided me fantastic views of Mars, Jupiter and its moons, Saturn and it’s ring system and also deep sky objects such as the Great Orion Nebula, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Whirlpool Galaxy and the Sombrero galaxy. It really is an extremely capable telescope and holds tracking on objects incredibly accurately once aligned properly. It is in excellent good used condition with only minor wear and tear externally associated with careful use.
I hope this telescope provides you with as much joy and wonder as it has me.
