Nexstar 80 mm Refractor.

Celestron NexStar Telescope 22085

. 80 mm F=900 coated optics.

Comes with Two Eyepieces, one star diagonal, as well as a Red Dot Finder, plus it has a Dew Sheila, Celestron hand controller, NexStar goto mount & aluminium Tripod, Powered by a cord from a cigarette lighter..

Tried out the mount & Hand Controller till it asked me to do a Three Star Align. It was day time, so did not proceed any further. But hand controller did appear to work perfectly up till then.

The vertical movement works perfectly. The horizontal, movement, can hear the motors running, but no movement. Took the mount off the tripod, and the Horizontal movement did then work. Therefore do suggest it may be just dirt or something else causing friction, or an adjustment that is all that is hindering the horizontal movement.

Some marks on the Telescope tube did rub off, so this scope is in very good condition. Its optics do look clean.

Reason for the sale, is that I purchased a bigger telescope, and I have never used this Telescope since I purchased it.

$290--
