Adding Altazimuth & Equatorial capability – plus belt drive to what is already an excellent design.

Plus the ability to run two telescopes at once, and an Altazimuth mode that customers globally have been asking Saxon to develop for years.

Please note : This product is 100% identical to the Skywatcher version, the only variance being the after sales service, where we prefer Saxon.

Description

In stock, limited stock available.

This product is basically out of stock nationally, excepting Astronomy Alive. When this product hit COVID19 related manufacturing issues the entire stock of this product available for Australia was purchased by Astronomy Alive to enable my customers to be supported with supply of advanced telescope systems (usually purchased with an exceptional Sky Rover telescope). There has recently been a limited supply of product become available to some local suppliers, be cautious – this may be “gray” market product brought into Australia from a 3rd world supply – excluding an Australian warranty. Some of my competitors are that desperate to offer to you that they enact this process which we comprehensively refuse to offer or even consider ! ie: procurement via 3rd parties in China and supply to you the customer in Australia with the Australian warranty being voided. Some suppliers may try and claim their  product is the genuine Australian supported product, their call, I refuse to tell my customers anything but the truth, you deserve the real McCoy – with an Australian warranty.
