SkyWatcher Explorer 200P (EQ-5 PRO Synscan) 8″ GoTo Telescope + Valuable extras

This telescope is like-new, as this was bought as my second telescope and unfortunately it is too advanced for me and I also need to gather funds to pay for university. It has been used approximately 4 times. It is in excellent, new condition and here I have thrown in several ‘extras’.

The extras include:

Moon filter (not pictured)

Extra eyepieces 

Revelation Pro 7″ MCT or 8″ SCT Dew Heater (I paid 40.00 pounds for this and it is unused)Celestron Power Tank 7Ah 12V Power Supply (I paid 62.00 pounds for this)

Extra cable connecting Power pack and telescope (worth 15 pounds)

Sky-Watcher Explorer-200P (EQ5 PRO) 200mm (8″) f/1000 Parabolic SynScan GO-TO Newtonian Reflector Telescope. All Sky Watcher Black Diamond Newtonian Reflectors feature 0.5mm ultra-thin secondary mirror supports to reduce diffraction spikes and light loss, and high quality Paraboloidal primary mirrors to eliminate spherical aberration. The mirrors are ‘parabolised’ to bring all the light rays to the same focal point to produce sharp, contrasty images which are full of detail. Ideal for Planetary and deep sky observation.

The EQ5 PRO SynScan mount is a perfect instrument for advanced visual observers and imagers to enjoy astronomy with minimal setup time and in-depth knowledge of the night sky.
