Skywatch 10" newt on EQ6

[Duncan]

Does anyone out there own one of these or seen / heard reviews on this instrument. Need all the feedback i can get. I want something to suit both visual and DSO photography.This looks like a very well made scope but would like to hear or talk to someone who owns one.:pipethinker:

I have seen this telescope and looked through it. I think SkyWatcher are a good make. We had some amazing views through it. I can't really remember what mount it was on though. But optically, it was awesome. This scope is good value for money Duncan. :thumbsupmate:

Hi Duncan,

Worth checking with "Scorpius", he seems to have a very good deal going there. See his post yesterday

Just sent off an email to get a quote from a shop up here. Will be interesting to see how much difference to prices i've seen advertised from down Sydney way. Will let you all know how i get on.
Cheers

How good was that. Got a reply already and less than $100 difference. This just keeps getting better. Might own one sooner than i thought. Yippee:Chessy_Smile:

looks like the rain is your fault than Duncan. :b We haven't had rain like this for years. Good luck with with the new scope when it arrives sounds like a bute. :cool:

Offer the telescope dealer a couple of hundred less than he is selling it for. You might be pleasantly surprised. I've always asked for discounts and most of the time they don't mind knocking a small chunk off.

[Duncan]

Now thats a very good idea :thumbsupmate:
Thanks Radar

Just mention that you will also be buying other items once you get started!
