Call me nostalgic....but I just love the retro look of the old orange tube Celestron C8. Primary is a bit dirty along with the corrector. First clear skies will determine wether or not to clean. Scope has "Special Coatings". Externally the OTA could pass as new. Finder scope has a few scratches. Came with original OTA/fork trunk and wedgepod. $405 USD. Hell, even if I got to have the mirrors recoated...well worth the price. Also got a deal brewing on a Skywatcher EQ6 mount/tripod combo (non goto but with dual drives and handbox) that is 3 yrs old and used 4 times for $375 USD shipped. It's gonna be a good year...if the rain stops...29 days straight now. What's next? A Toucam Pro obviously
