You probably want to give this one a miss at that price. It looks like one of the old carboard tube models. I have a 10" starfinder and although the mirrors are ok the rest of it is pretty bad. At least he upgraded the crap focuser. Here's a review (from 12 years ago) http://www.cloudynights.com/page/art...rspective-r634
