C8 Edge HD and Hyperstar

[Poita]

I have to move to an astro unfriendly location, need a new car and have another kid on the way, so I am selling everything up. :(

I'll be adding my gear over the next few days and getting photos and prices together, but feel free to make offers in the meantime.

First on the block is a near new C8 edge-HD OTA , still has the receipt ($2499) as well as the Hyperstar to suit the C8 Edge. (US$799 + postage) (http://starizona.com/acb/HyperStar-3-Lens---8-Celestron-Edge-HD-P3113C773.aspx)

Currently new these would set you back $3300. Open to any offers, they are in perfect condition and hardly used.

The hyperstar turns the C8 into an F2 widefield scope, allowing you to get amazing depth and detail with really really short exposures. It even gets good results on Alt/Az mounts!

Will add more details when I get home

First offer over $1200 for the OTA gets it.

I'll consider anything over $400 for the Hyperstar.

That is less than half the local price for each item.

First in best dressed :)
