Could be a bargain

Interesting photos. Is it me or is the finderscope the wrong way round in the bracket? Is that the original front end of the finderscope? Maybe the lack of the bolt has caused problems in the past! I also wonder whether the sky remote is included: did the owner get confused by the name 'skywatcher'? It means something different in relation to TVs I suspect.

sun bleached? does this mean its been left outside? guess it could of been in a window. wont know if its worth a punt or not until its got 5 mins left

[garethmob]

id imagine its window, but the bleaching looks like the finder, which from what iv heared they all do it (my OO one was like it)

that finder bracket is in the wrong way though

Looks sound enough. Could be an absolute steal.

I'm not happy about the "rust" on the dust plate covering the back of the mirror cell. I'd want more details and photos of the primary mirror to assess it's condition before committing. The scope could have been stood on it's mirror end in a damp place for a period of time .....

Yeah a photo of the primary would be nice.
