For sale, as new, the Skywatcher Skyliner 200P Dobsonian telescope.
‘The UK’s most popular Dobsonian telescope’. Highly commended by SKY AT NIGHT,
Bought in 2013 from First Light Optics for 279 for my father’s 60th birthday, this has not been used. Instead, he is opting for a pair of binoculars for bird twitching! Still hold receipt. Telescope is in fully functional and perfect condition. Has been taken out of the box and will be returned back to the box. Can deliver to within 50 miles of London, Isle of Wight, or Bath. Also throwing in, Premium Cheshire Collimating Eyepiece and ‘Turn Left at Orion: Hundreds of Night Sky Objects to See in a Home Telescope – and How to Find Them’. The perfect beginners’ set up. No time-wasters please.
“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 al 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.
