I have the 300p can you tell me how much taller it is when it is fully extended. Or the overall height when pointed straight up

Hi there.
I need to make a call on my next telescope purchase as other options will not wait. Initially I did not consider mid size motorised dob but if we can agree a deal I'm up for it.
Please start responding to me and others if this is serious sale.
Reminder there's also an option to set the minimum price if you are not open to any negotiations.
Best.

@Westener: Thanks for the offer, but that is too low.

@Dotzi80: The overall height when extended is over 6 feet. You can consult the literature, which is available online..

@cezwasz: Thanks for your communication. This is a serious sale, but we are prepared to wait for a realistic offer. Arrangements can be made to view this instrument, which is located outside Dublin, just off the Blessington Road.

Lovely - thanks for reply!
- How old is this instrument?
- Are you the first owner?
- Any issues with the GoTo mechanism, hand controller or electronics in general?
- Is this still the original, single speed focuser installed (appears so)?
- Does it come with the cloth / shroud? How about dust cover(s) for mirror box and the cage?
- Does it hold collimation well when transported (I see the castor wheels are plastic/solid ones - expect shaking coming from the dolly)?

@cezwasz: This was bought new and only set up once. All mechanisms are perfect, and the mirror and tube covers are intact. To use the GOTO function, the alignment must be very carefully set up. This we never did. I bought it with my son some years ago, but as he had a stroke, it was never used. The Dolly was used to transport it outside that large door in the picture onto a concrete area outside. Collimation would need to be checked, but this is simple. The transport system could be improved, but it enabled indoor storage. We have all the instruction manuals.

Sorry to hear about your son. I really hope things worked out for you all.
Thanks for the answers.
FYI Sky Watcher have replaced this model with StarGate version. It's lighter and thus much more mobile or easier to get around within the site.
Would it be possible to inspect this item, say tomorrow evening?
If so I'll make 1Eur, non-binding offer, just so we can communicate and exchange contact details in private after you accept it.

yes, you can do that.

Hi

What eyepieces, filters etc do you have with the scope?

Thanks

Desryan 1 month ago

@Jayo_72: Just the two eyepieces supplied, which are adequate. Accessories are readily available. The standout feature is the Syncscan which allows remote control.

Jayo_72 1 month ago

Thanks.
I had the 300P SynScan version in the past.
Unfortunately I sold all eyepieces, filters etc with the scope.
