WTS: Explore Scientific Aurora II 114mm Slow Motion AZ Mount Telescope w/ free 114f500 reflector for DIY [180SGD]
Decent 114mm aperture NEW reflector telescope still in box. Come with full package ready to use. AZ mount is great with real manual slow motion (unlike yoke mount and other AZ mount) and simpler as well as lighter (unlike equatorial mount). My own unit is also my most used mount for quick visual obs...

Re: EAA: Carina nebula with poor man's h-alpha
