Help! I'm in the process of liguidating some astronomy gear for my deceased brother-in-law's estate. The only item I'm having difficulty pricing is his refractor OTA which simply says "Antares 812 GP by Skywatcher Telescopes". I estimate the scope was constructed in 2003 or 2004. It has the Skywatcher navy blue motiff. Apparently some of these were built in Japan by Vixen and some were Chinese built. Due to the fact it does not appear to have an adjustable lens I suspect it is the Chinese version but don't know for certain.
Is anyone familiar enough with these OTA's to tell me how to determine where this one was built?
