Hi all,
Sorry for taking a while to get more photos up. Find attached.
Included is:
- Celestron C8 OTA (with finder scope and DSLR connection on top so you can use the mount to track using just the DSLR for wide angle shots, has starbright coating)
- Dovetail underneath (i think it is vixen size???)
- Dew shield
- Diagonal (needs a good clean though)
- Other bits and bobs like 2" to 1.25" connection so you can get your diagonal in, T-Ring adaptor for a DSLR (if you want it)
- 0.63x reducer (which goes for like $300 at bintel)
Not included:
- Mount
- Eyepieces (though i have a few old ones i probably am not using if you want them)
As mentioned, the OTA isn't new and so has the usual scratches and marks, but nothing that would get in the way of performance. Everything taken on my instagram (except for the most recent couple) was taken with this scope (again, excuse my poor processing, and you can see how much i improved over a couple of weeks as i got the hang of it).

Also find here some raw shots (no stacking or processing) that comes straight out of the OTA to my Canon 6D DSLR (full frame). Note that as it is full frame you get a very wide field of view and so you see the edges that aren't very flat. The middle is crisp though. I think this scope suits a cropped sensor for this reason (or a full frame like mine, but i just use the middle data).

I have had some interest though no one has committed yet as i thing people were waiting for more shots. Let me know if anyone wants the lot for $700. Might consider splitting up the OTA and the reducer and sell separately if there is demand).
Cheers, Alex.
