PRICE DROP! Was $950; now just $750!
Condition:
This is a black-tube Fastar C8 OTA in excellent condition, with clean optics and body. This has the Celestron Focus Motor and Bob's Knobs already installed, and was well-used as an astrophotography scope - take a look at the bitemarks in the dovetail. However, the optics are sparkling clean, with only the tiniest amount of speckling in the coatings in one small area. See the photos.
Because this is for astrophotography, this does not include the stock finder, diagonal, 25mm Plossl, or visual back.
This is a great deal at $750, over HALF OFF, and won't last!
We can ship this to you for a $29 shipping charge.
