Hi Ken. There is one in the classifieds. Don't know if it is xlt.
Cheers, Richard

Richard,
I saw that and currently discussing with Andrew.
Are there other options??

There must be hundreds of these C8’s in the country.
I’m sure they are probably not all being used.
I’m looking for a clean OTA with dovetail.
Let me know.

There's one in port fairy listed on Gumtree

I have one - has a losmanby dovetail. It is 'farstar' capable. The OTA itself has no dents, but the paint has a few scrapes. Probably has some dust on the mirror, but no scratches that I can see. Some of the screws on the rear of the scope that are used for accessories are not original :)

It was the first real scope I got when getting back into astro - probably mid to late 90's? I got it from someone on astromart in the early 2000's. Has some sentimental value for me, but I don't really use it at the moment, so I am willing to part with it for a fair price. I can send you some images if you are interested.

Still looking......
Missed out on a couple of opportunities.
Let me know.

I’m still considering the 8” SCT OTA if the price is right.
Let me know if you have one unused in storage.
