Celestron C8, Orange tube classic

Pending a move to Tasmania, all my telescopes have to go.
Two scopes being sold as packages with eyepieces, diagonals etc.

1. Celestron C8, Orange tube classic
This is a fork mounted, orange tube C8. Vintage unknown but it's been a while since Celestron sold these!
It's been well looked after and was purchased from an IIS member about 3 years ago.
Includes:
  • C8 orange tube OTA with 1.25" visual back. Original orange finderscope.
  • Telrad finderscope with base (installed)
  • Fitted with Bob's Knobs
  • Wooden carry case for OTA
  • Fork mount, tripod, wedge, 240V clock drive.
  • Lumicon Sky Vector II Digital Setting Circles (think of this as a poor mans Argo Navis :-) RA and DEC encoders to suit fork mount.
  • Orion star diagonal
  • Dew shield, heater and controller.
  • 12v -> 240V converter.

Price $750.. Selling as a complete package. I may split this up if no takers.


Due to lack of transport and packaging, prefer pick up . Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause

Check out my other sales. More pictures here.
