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.
