It's a good scope. I'd say wait for one to pop up on "Buy & Sell"

it just seems a little on the heavy side.. 16kg..
would you say its a good scope to buy??
A 5" Mak or SCT should weigh just a few kilos. That 16kg probably include the weight of an eq mount. Anyway, the skywatcher will be an excellent choice. Just wait for a used one to pop up in Buy and Sell; about 400-500 SGD for an OTA. No point paying much more to get a new one.
