GSO RC8 plus accessories - price drop

I am upsizing so need to move my RC8 on to a new home.

This scope has been my go-to imaging scope for a few years now and has been permanently housed in my Observatory and comes with a number of accessories as well as original packaging

Included
Standard OTA
Standard focuser
3x extension rings
Packaging

Additions are
Kendrick secondary dew heater
Astrozap dew shield
Greg Neumann 220mm Aurora flat panel worth $200
Collimation Ring
Set of Bobs knobs for adjusting secondary collimation.


Excluded is the moonlight focuser. The scope will ship with the unused standard focuser

I will add more photos this weekend

On its own, the scope at Bintel would be just shy of $1300 new

With the inclusions, this one is going for $900. Buyer to pay for shipping or can arrange to drop or meet within 250km of Sydney.

This scope holds collimation well and the carbon fibre tube helps a lot to ensure you don’t need to refocus during the night much if at all.

PM if interested.
