* REDUCED * - ES 16” Gen II Ultra Light Dobsonian + Nexus II DSC + High-Res Encoders

This ES Gen II 16” dob is in overall excellent shape with really nice optics. I won't have the ability to use it for the foreseeable future, and want to find it a good home.

Setup is configured so that the included Li-ion power bank, dew heater controller unit, eyepiece heater, and other components attach directly to (and thus move/rotate with) the scope. This lets you keep everything powered and enjoy your observing session while freely walking around the scope in the dark—all without having to worry about tangles or tripping. The Astro Devices high-resolution encoders and Nexus II combo enable seamless push-to operation with your smartphone or tablet and astronomy app of choice.

Again, optics and scope components are in overall excellent shape and ready to observe on night one. There is a little normal wear/scuffing on the rocker box, but this is minimal and purely cosmetic.
