System includes:

* C8 Orange tube OTA
* Mount, wedge & steel tripod
* 6 x 30 original finderscope
* Manual controls to slew the system manually
* Single axis motorised 240V - however you will need to procure a new cable as I could not find one with the system (this won't be a problem), I can show you the original cable on pickup with my own identical unit - UPDATE - another Ice In Spacer has an extra cable, I am happy to pass their contact details on to the buyer
* Brand New star diagonal Celestron 1.25 inch
* Brand New triple eyepiece set Celestron 25mm, 10mm and 4mm

Good & capable condition for it's age

I have just completed servicing this system and it's performance is very capable, there's nothing wrong with the system at all, the optics and very good and the mechanicals are also totally Ok

Nothing needs to be done to start using this system except for adding your enthusiasm

Pulls good images all the way to high magnification, as is the usual case with these excellent Orange tube units

That is beautiful. A piece of history and a nice scope as well. It needs a good home.

Don't know what others think but .... that's a BARGAIN.
Looks in great condition for it's age.... and those orange tubes have excellent optics.

If I didn't have enough scopes .... this would be GONE.

Thank you Flash and Eric for your kind comments.

I already have a mint condition example of the same unit, and yes they are excellent performers.

This one's in great nick for it's age, and will no doubt be snapped up very quickly.

Thanks again guys.

Rgds,
