Tele Vue 102 iis Refractor With Skyscanner HEQ Pro 5 Mount, Pier and accessories
Tele Vue 102 iis Refractor With Skyscanner HEQ Pro 5 Mount, Pier and accessories

Offered for sale is my complete astronomical observing set up comprising the following key items:

Telescope:
Tele Vue 102 iis refractor telescope 880mm, f8.6 APO
2 inch Tele Vue diagonal
Motorized focuser system
Red dot finder with mirror for two way use
8 mm Tele Vue Radian eyepiece
18 mm Tele Vue Radian eyepiece
Dedicated foam lined carry case
Extension tube to extend point of focus for camera attachment

Mount:
Skyscanner HEQ 5 Pro mount
SynScan database controller for auto alignment based on one, two or three stars
Aluminium tripod in original packing – unused
Power supply, tools and cables
Counter balance weights
Instruction manuals

Pier and Mount System
Pulsar observatory steel pier and custom aluminium fitting kit to attach the HEQ5 Pro mount to the pier

Other
Custom made insulated weather protector cover, metal lined to protect whole assembly when set up outdoors.
Case of other mixed eyepieces, cheaper plossl’s etc would be included.
If you have an Ipad or Iphone, I also have a ‘Skywire’ which will directly connect an Ipad or Iphone to control the mount. This is highly recommended and very convenient to use. Tap an object on the screen, planet, dark sky object etc and the telescope will automatically move to the chosen item. You will need to install appropriate software onto your phone or Ipad, for which SkySafari Pro is highly recommended.

Condition
The telescope and mount, as hopefully can be seen from the pictures, has always be carefully looked after, stored indoors when not actually in use and are in exceptional condition.
The Pier which has been permanently bolted to a concrete base shows a little surface rusting near the base but is perfectly sound.

The telescope can be used with the mount either on the supplied tripod if travelling around or for home use the pier would be the way to go.

The telescope and mount are well matched and work very well indeed.

The telescope, mount, pier and accessories are being sold as a complete package and will not be split.

The total weight of the items is significant and particularly with expensive and fragile optics it is collection only.

You will be purchasing a quality set up which will give many hours of pleasure.

Not getting any younger, this is a reluctant sale, but the time has come for a new owner to take over what is a great piece of kit.
Price: £3,500
