Hi,

Not from Celestron

http://www.celestron.com/c3/support3...2234&nav=0,263

but there is a lot of info out there which could give an approximate year

Is it carbon fibre? Celestron did produce a black "carbon fibre" 8" OTA about 6 or 7 years ago.

Cheers Peter

Thx for the links Geoff.

Peter its not a carbon fibre one (I wish). Its got an old skool feel to it. Could be decades old?

I'll check the links and report back.

thx

Pete
