The Celestron C8-A # 91024-XLT is the direct (but much improved) descendent of Celestron’s revolutionary C8 that transformed the hobby of astronomy when it was unveiled in 1970. This rugged aluminum optical tube is only 17 inches long and weighs just 13 pounds, making it easy to transport and set up. But the views are much more impressive than what you’d expect from such a compact instrument. The tube offers 2032 mm of focal length and a focal ratio of f/10, with the added versatility of Fastar (see below). It is equipped with Celestron’s patented StarBright® XLT optical coatings, which visibly increase contrast and light transmission for brighter deep space images and shorter exposure times. With StarBright XLT, you’ll be able to discern subtle details while viewing the Moon and planets as well as faint galaxies and nebulae.
Tracking mount with preprogrammed objects. In the picture is the finder scope , but I replaced it with a Telrad from Starizona.(between 50-65 bucks depending where you look) New they are going to $2400+. But some scuffs on the tripod so, a great discount! I will also include a 25mm eyepiece, bahtinov mask for focusing and portable power supply.
Please- no low ballers, cash and local only.
