This is a SkyWatcher 14" goto dob in excellent condition. It is clean all over, both the glass and the body. Everything works nicely. The primary has no dust, sleeks, scratches, or dings. It includes the stock 10mm and 25mm Plossls, as well as a 2" 40mm Celestron Axiom 70-degree AFOV eyepiece (a $200 value) for low-magnification, wide-field views.
The previous owner used a nice pair of Orion Premium Linear Binoviewers with this, which are available for sale separately at the time of this listing. The nice thing about these binoviewers is that because they have a zero optical path length, there are no additional back focus requirements or focuser in-travel. In other words, you can just pop in these binoviewers, and they'll work, without having to use an optical nosepiece to change the magnification/focal length.
Included is a Hotech Laser Collimator (a $165 value). It also includes a 12V 2.5 amp power cord (a $40 value). This is over $4400 in gear for just $2200!
We do not have the packing boxes for this, so this is for in-store pickup only. There are no returns on this item.

The exciting Sky-Watcher Dobsonian SynScan series is precision engineered instrument that will allow you to easily find and enjoy viewing night sky treasures, such as Planets, Nebulae, Star Clusters, Galaxies and much more. With its patented collapsible tube design, these Dobsonians are truly the ultimate in portability and performance.
The elegant truss tube design was carefully engineered to combine ease of use, extreme portability and consistent performance in an affordable package. Unlike other truss tube designs, the SkyWatcher Flextube Dobsonian does not need to be disassembled between uses. It transports as two compact pieces that can be assembled and ready to use in just seconds! It is easy to collimate once set up, and it holds its collimation throughout the evening! The patented Tension Control Handle allows users to add or reduce tension, thereby increasing or decreasing the friction between the optical tube and the sideboards.
The SynScan™ AZ hand control allows you point your telescope at a specific object, or even tour the night sky at the touch of a button!! The user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 42,900+ objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The patented dual encoder design allows the telescope to be moved manually whenever the user wishes – but with no need for re-alignment!
The Sky-Watcher Dobsonian SynScan series combines the convenience and affordability of the traditional Dobsonian with the convenience of a computerized Go-To telescope.
