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

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.
