The user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 42,900+ night sky objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. Fantastic performance from this highly capable all-rounder. Its precision Parabolic primary mirror captures 30% more precious starlight than a 114mm reflector for bright, sharp, contrasty views of a wide range of night sky objects.Comes with numerous additions, including….4mm viewfinder10mm viewfinder25mm wide view viewfinder20mm erecting eyepiece2x Barlow lens (magnifies by x2)3x Barlow lens (magnifies by x3) – Please note, I actually think this is a x2 barlow lens5x Barlow lens (magnifies by x5)Nipon EE300 digital eyepieceLong USB extension cableCD to install software for Nipon digital eyepiece
The telescope is a perfect telescope for beginners/amateurs who don’t want to spend a huge amount of money.
Mirrors are all ok as far as I can see, but I have taken a photo (using the Nipon digital eyepiece) of a church across the valley from my house. Photos as follows…Photo from my camera phone with no zoom.Photo through the Nipon digital eyepiece using no magnification (just basic magnification of the telescope).Photo through the Nipon digital eyepiece using x2 magnification (2x barlow lens)Photo through the Nipon digital eyepiece using x5 magnification (5x barlow lens)As you can see, its taking clear photos.The computerised mount is easy to use. You set the telescope up at night and set the Longitude/Latitude cords for your location, then manually track to a known star and program the mount using the supplied Synscan keypad. Then track a second star and do the same. The mount will then track automatically to any star/planet you ask it to.I tend to be lazy and set this up outside, then wander inside and view it through the Nipon digital eyepiece on the laptop. The USB extension cable is perfect for this.
You will need to get a telephone extension cable, (I did have one but lost it), that way you can also extend the controller. So set it up and then walk inside in the warm and let the telescope sit outside on its own. That way the kids get involved and even the wife……sometimes.
On of the legs is damaged. I’m taped around the leg and it holds fine, but it means the legs do not stow away properly.
I AM AFRAID, I AM NOT POSTING THIS, so collection is only from Northampton. I do however also travel to Doncaster, Manchester, York, Leeds from Northampton very regularly, so would consider delivering it for a small fee and as long as we can get an agreement (would require payment in advance via Paypal if you want me to deliver). Let me know you location and I will advise the additional cost for me to deliver and when I can do it.
No buy it now price, please don’t ask.
Happy Bidding
