More info on this telescope?

[Joanna]

Hi, 

I picked this telescope up at a thrift shop and am wondering if someone could give me more info on it. What type of Skywatcher is it? What is the value? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

The telescope is a Skywatcher refractor on a AZ3 mount.  It is 90mm (3.5") aperture.  They retail at £156 new.    🙂

Here are the specs on the scope from the Skywatcher web site. The colour scheme has changed recently but it is the same model:

That looks like a decent scope especially to be picked up at a thrift shop. Wish ours would stock such items 🙂

Welcome aboard. Did it come with any eyepieces (lenses)? You'll need at least one to use it.

And a diagonal unless you only plan on using it terrestrially as a spotting scope.
