Condition: This is a C8 OTA that is about a dozen years old. It is in very good condition; the body and optics are clean. However, there is a significant scratch on the very edge of the corrector plate. See the photos. This scratch will not significantly affect your views; however, we have taken this condition issue into consideration in the pricing.
The OTA comes with:
- A 6x30 finder
- A Celestron visual back
It does not include a diagonal or an eyepiece, which can be purchased separately. The OTA comes in a fully foam-padded Pelican 1620 case, which all by itself is a $324 value. Therefore, this is LESS THAN HALF-PRICE!
Due to the size, we cannot ship this to you; this is available for in store pickup only.
