The scope is complete with Goto and accessories. Details: Meade DS2130 5.1" reflector. Mount - Completely computerized GOTO Alt-AZ mount. Finder - 6X30 EPs - 9.6mm and 26mm Plosl and a 3.3x barlow Complete packing and box available Scope is in good condition except that one of the tripod's legs lock is broken. Not a big deal. I can repair myself provided I have time. Optics are in excellent condition and Goto works smoothly. Price: I paid Rs. 25000/ including shipping from Islamabad. I am asking for Rs. 22000 excluding shipping. If you are out of Karachi, you pay shipping. As a bonus, I will include the connectivity cable for the Goto Controller to upgrade and control the scope through computer. I bought this kit separately, but I'm including it FREE. Please let me know if you are interested. You can call me on my cell phone 03142046986 Thanks. Imran --- In astronomy-atLAST@ yahoogroups. com, Emad Maqbool <emadmaqbool@ ...> wrote: > > huh?
