8" GSO Reflector

For sale is an 8" GSO Reflector that I bought approx. 8 years ago and has barely been used.

$150 Pickup Only - Collingwood Park 4301

Specs:
8" 200mm f/5
2" Crayford style dual-speed 10:1 microfocuser with 1.25" adaptor
Primary mirror cooling fan
8x50 finderscope
two tube rings
Vixen style dovetail bar

The only issue is the mirror needs needs a recoating due to being stored in a shed for a while and the cover had been bumped off - there was an accumulation of dust and the mirror is marked as a result. However, I have still used it for viewing the moon, planets and the odd globular star cluster.

The rest of the scope is in excellent condition and is worth the asking price for the 10:1 microfocuser and findercope alone.

I have just collimated it and can include an as new laser collimator (used 3 times) for an additional $50.
