Orion 8" F4 Newtonian

Have been using this for the past 6 months or so, nice fast scope.
So so condition, does the job tho if your just wanting to start out in astrophotography or after a cheap fast newtonian.

Secondary mirror isnt doing too well and the primary is in average-good condition.
Have seen secondary mirrors cheap at andrews but never bothered, works good enough for me.

Visually, the moon and planets look great through the eyepiece once collimated.

Used it 99% of the time in the backyard in Brisbane to take photos so was quite limited due to light pollution. Some quick and nasty samples are attached below using a EOS 450D Cannon.

Comes with the 8" rings, mounting plate, finder scope as shown (no diagonal), collimation laser and a 2"-1.25" adaptor.

$275
