I need to downsize and am offering this Meade 2080 8" SCT with high transmission coatings. I replaced the original 240vac drive base with one from an LX10 that uses a 9v battery, the original drive base is available if the buyer wants it. Also completely rebuilt the tripod spreader bar - it is now the most rigid and easiest to erect tripod I have ever used.

It is in excellent condition optically and mechanically, and the quality of the optics is very good. It's another scope I would really like to keep but I just can't find room for 3 SCT's :(

Comes with the original Meade visual back, Meade 25mm MA, a generic (good) 40mm Plossl, and 15mm GSO wide view Plossl.

$650.00 Can deliver in Tasmania and perhaps early next year in Victoria. I don't want to pack and freight it (and it would probably be too expensive to ship anyway).

The scope is still for sale - for a short time. Took it out last night and could resolve six stars in Theta Orionis. If no-one shows serious interest very soon I'll find a way to keep it! :)
