missing part

[lmao_37]

i have recently emmigrated to the usa and i shipped out my skywatcher 200p and my stuff arrived last weeek and i have found that a part of the tripod is missing, the nut and washer that you screw up and tentions the tripod and holds the accessary tray in place, iam gona have to buy a wing nut to do the job is just annoying i know i packed it but i cant find it and its peed me off because i have looked trough every box and package and its no where to be found

You could get a replacement from here ...

astrodevelopments but I am sure there are suppliers in the US.

Good luck with your relocation.

You could see if there is a dealer nearby that stocks Orion (USA) stuff. Much of that is made by the same company as the Skywatcher stuff is. The Orion mount called the SkyView Pro is very, very similar to the Skywatcher EQ5. Come to think of it the Celestron CG5 is very similar as well.

You can also buy direct from the Orion company:
