Hi Guys,
I'm looking to buy a Skywatcher Skyliner-400P Flextube Synscan go-to 16" Dob.
I would love to see one in the flesh to get a feel for the size and weight of this telescope before I decide to purchase.
Has anyone on this forum got one or has seen one upclose? Please share.

Sorry Tom. I haven't seen one or used one. But 16 inches of goto light collecting bucketness? Yes please. That's the one I want to get next (after the lotto winnings on Wednesday)

By the way, just so you know- Stephen in KTec telelescopes is selling them. Now, I have no vested interest in the company. But he's Irish, extremely helpful and knows his stuff. Anyway, I hope someone helps you out with their experience.

Thanks Sean, I've have made contact with Stephen in KTec, a very helpful guy.
He can sell me the 400P but unfortunately he doesn't have one in stock for me to look at.
