Fully motorised sky-watcher 200p with an EQ5 mount. It has the extra synscan eq5 kit fitted which cost 300 brand new, this will allow you to control it via EQMOD from a computer.
The telescope was mounted in my own built observatory as seen in the image where its primary use was computer guided imaging, it’s imaged supernovae, hundreds of galaxies,planets,international space station, nebulae and numerous sun spots. I’ve had this telescope for just over 2 years now and I have travelled the country with it and can say i’ve loved it. It has been used with extensive care, there is the odd scratch and paint chips on the weights as they are often removed and transported together. The primary mirror will require a clean and may need collimating as it’s not been used for a few months and has been stored inside. The mount does have slight pen marks where I have used them to quickly revert back to the home postpositions when aligning to the stars. The mount too has had some modifications to it, one of the longitudinal bolts and the azimuth bolts have been removed and replaced with bolts due to the stock bolts being inferior and breaking. This allows you to be slightly more precise now with the use of a spanner instead of a small handle and twist knob. The eye pieces are the stock ones, cheaply made and with the intention of the user to upgrade, the eye surrounds on them have degraded and fell off but does not effect the viewing performance. Around the optical tube is a dew shield that I made to also protect it from knocks and scratches, this has been on since the first week I purchased it. The guide unit box holder has got a broken prong where it fits onto the mount leg but can easily be fixed. There is numerous additions as listed below.
