Rc8 $850

I've just bought a new refractor, so something has to give, and I'm afraid it's going to have to be my RC8.
It's a stock standard CF model, it's had little use sadly. What with the weather and moving house etc.
There is a bit of mark, purely cosmetic on the mirror surround where I tried to put a second finder, but I'll see if I can buff it out.
The scope has always been stored in a cotton cover and in it's styrofoam base inside a soft bag.
Andrews are selling these new for $1099
My price, as good as new $850

I prefer to sell locally ie. SEQ
Pick up or meet half way.

I'll take photo's tomorrow, if I remember, but you all know what an RC8 looks like. LOL

Geez, sorry to see your second RC8 being sold. I'm sure someone will snap it up. I love mine!

It's always the way isn't it. I wish I could keep it. But mama has to pay for her new toys.

That is a shame! I really liked the images you got from it, inspired me to really go for it with my RC8

Oh, the scope is going to be going out on loan for a while to see if will suit the potential purchaser.
Thanks

Q: Does this one have both Vixen and Losmandy dovetails?

Yes, it has both Losmandy and Vixen style plates. Though I did remove the Losmandy one to save weights while using it on my little mount.

I had offered this scope to Anthony before putting this ad up.
