I purchased this Schmidt-Cassegrain Celestron NexStar Evolution 8" new in May 2020 and purchased the Celestron StarSense AutoAlign new in November 2021.
The equipment has been used approximately twenty times and always handled with kid gloves i.e. no knocks or falls. Consequently, and to the best of my knowledge, the equipment is in excellent condition with everything functioning as expected.
Reason for my sale of the equipment is the novelty has worn off and it just sits in the corner of my room.
The equipment, which comes with original packaging, is as follows:
