Celestron C8 OTA for sale

this C8 has been well looked after and originally was owned by JohnG and he had it in his observatory. As a package it comes with the losmandy D plate and fittings (originally it had type C but I upgraded it), 8" solar glass filter and a APM rail and rings (you can mount a ED80 in this), metal hartman mask, bobs knobs for collimation and illuminated finderscope and fully multicoated optics. This is all housed in a case. it is a black OTA. The only reason, and I mean only reason I am selling this is because I have far tooo many scopes and nowhere to keep this. i really do not want to part with it. I am asking $1400 dollars FIRM. remember it comes with losmandy D plate - and has the ADM rail and rings!!

this does not include frieght and preferably pickup would be good. Electronic bank transfer is perferred for payment

Answer to a Question - the case is the original celestron one - I have covered it in clear contact to help keep out the moisture.
