Dear prospective purchasers, whilst our genuine community are generally nice people and we try our best to filter the adverts, please understand that there are scammers out there. If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is. If you contact the purchaser, insist up front on a secure payment method (e.g. bank transfer) to be released on delivery/collection of the goods. For your own safety, do NOT agree to meet somewhere with a large wad of cash. If your engagement with a seller is “fishy”, please inform us immediately so we can take the advert down.

Skywatcher Esprit 100ED refractor
Excellent condition. Comes with a large WO manual rotator which is rock solid and a stunning addition to the scope. It attaches to the imaging train with machines anodised aluminium adapters. The image of Corona Australis was taken with this scope. ZWO EAF electronic focuser – Works a treat with an ASIair.
Delivery: I would prefer local pick-up in Cape Town but could ship in original silver case in SA at buyer’s expense.
Price R 40 000 for the scope, rotator and EAF, or R 37 000 for the OTA alone.
