[SOLD] C8 + accessories

[that_guy (Tony)]

I bought this older model C8 (circa 1980's) from a local club member to try my hands at planetary imaging but whenever its clear, I always just do deep sky and never really had a chance to use this thing. Comes with other bits and pieces that I bought separately. Only had it for about a month, had the mirror cleaned and corrector plate cleaned as well. The c8 comes with a GSO 2" visual back.

C8 - $250
Kendrick 8" heated dew shield - $70
Flip mirror - $140

Pick up only from the Gold Coast or I can drive within a couple of hours to surrounding areas as long as you cover the petrol

Thanks
Tony

EDIT: I've added photos. The dovetail is screwed on to the body itself and is REALLY sturdy. Finderscope is not included but the bracket is. It's also home made by the previous owner and has a weird attachment via some phillip screws.

Does it have and stand?

[that_guy (Tony)]

If you mean if it comes with a mount, no. It's just the OTA with the dovetail

Thanks for the photos.
Can you please post a photo of the objective.
Thanks Bob

[that_guy (Tony)]

Added pictures of the objective mirror and corrector plate. No scratches or marks but I dont think the corrector plate has any coating on it (that I know of)

[that_guy (Tony)]

I havent properly collimated it since cleaning the optics so you'll need to give it a good collimation
