[SOLD] REDUCED Celestron C8 and Evo GoTo Alt Az Mount and Accessories

[cmr (Chris)]

An ideal set up for visual observing.

We have moved to a new house that is full of native trees, so I have no horizon and barely any sky - thus my telescope has had no use since moving here. Better to see it find a new home than gather dust!

Celestron Evolution computerised GoTo Alt Az mount with Wifi.

Set up is easy. Point towards ANY 3 bright objects in the sky (planets, moon, stars) and it's done. After that, the goto is accurate, and for even greater precision the firmware allows for 10 additional sync points which increases accuracy the more times you slew to an object.

Using the built in wifi function you can use your phone or tablet with the free celestron skyportal app to control the mount. Click on any object in the night sky that you want to view and it'll slew right to it and give you a bit of info as well.

The mount has a built in battery that lasts a few nights observation no worries, and is charged with a provided 12V adapter.

The OTA is a late 80s or early 90s Black C8 with Bobs Knobs (for easy adjustment)

There is a piggy back bracket for a DSLR and a telrad finder.

A 2inch Crayford focuser, and also an electric focus attachment - a 2 inch diagonal, a regular 2inch SCT adaptor and another finder scope.

2 inch eyepieces - Hyperion eyepieces - these are 2inch, and also can be used with 1.25inch there is a
21mm
13mm
and 3.5mm

There is also a celestron 40mm 1.25 inch eyepiece
a 6mm planetary eyepiece a couple of old plossis
a moon filter,

a Meade field reducer

Also, all weather specialist covers for the tripod and the OTA on mount telegizmos 365, these covers are awesome and allowed me to leave the scope and mount set up and outdoors….

All glass seems to me to be clear and last time I used the scope it was well collimated and a great viewing experience.
