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

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.huang_qingyuan wrote:how would you people rate the skywatcher 127 MCT?? it is now selling at 1.3k..
