Condition:
This is a C8 OTA in very good condition. The corrector plate has some spotting in the coatings, but no scratches or dust. This minor condition issue will not affect your views, and has been taken into consideration in the pricing. The previous owner put stickers on the tube, but obviously, this does not affect your views.
This is the just OTA, with no finder, diagonal, or eyepiece, with the standard dust caps, Vixen dovetail bar, and visual back. However, it includes a number of additional items:
- an installed Celestron dew heater ring, as well as the original ring
- a foam-lined Pelican style case for ease of transport
- a 2" back
- a base for Telrad
- a base for a finder with a Vixen footer
This is a great deal at almost HALF OFF and won't last!
We do not have the original packing boxes for this item, so this is available for in-store pickup only.
