**REDUCED PRICE**Celestron 8 inch SCT OTA with CGX Dovetail

Offered for sale at REDUCED price 0f $AU999 plus shipping or collect direct from Iluka in Perth.

This 8 inch SCT is in first class condition and is Fastar compatible.

The Celestron C8 was the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope available to amateur astronomers. This 8" f/10 optical tube is the direct, but much improved, descendent of that original astronomical triumph. The rugged aluminum optical tube is only 17" long and weighs only 13 lbs., making it easy to transport and set up.

Advanced Starbright XLT multicoatings are standard equipment. This coatings package includes high reflectivity multilayer aluminum mirrors enhanced with titanium dioxide for high reflectivity, plus a unique combination of magnesium fluoride and hafnium dioxide antireflection coatings on both sides of the Schmidt corrector lens. The corrector lens itself is made of high transmission water white float glass instead of conventional soda lime glass (which has 3.5% lower transmission) used in other telescopes.

Starbright XLT multicoatings visibly increase the contrast on subtle lunar, planetary, and nebula details when compared with a scope with standard multicoatings. They also give you higher light transmission for brighter deep space images and shorter exposure times during CCD and 35mm photography. Across the total visual/photographic spectrum from 400nm to 750nm, independent laboratory tests show the new Starbright XLT coatings are 16% brighter overall than even the original industry-standard Starbright multicoatings.

The optical tube comes with a 6 x 30mm straight-through achromatic finderscope and mounting bracket. Also included is a removable 1.25" visual back that holds visual and photographic accessories such as a star diagonal, tele-extender, etc. A 1.25" prism type star diagonal is also standard, as is a 1.25" 25mm Plössl eyepiece. This eyepiece provides a magnification of 81x, with a 0.59° field that's almost 20% larger than the full moon.

Would you take 1250 plus shipping to Melbourne?
