I haven't had time for this since kids came along.
Great working condition and
Celestron 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain
Comes with
- Nexstar handheld computer with 40,000 object database
- Celestron heavy duty tripod
- Celestron 1 1/4" diagonal
- Celestron 40mm Plossel eyepiece
- 9x50 finder scope
- 12V portable battery so you don't need extension cords
I purchased the below separately to do astrophotography.
- Celestron equatorial wedge for astrophotography
- Baader Hyperion Zoom 8-24mm with Canon EOS SLR camera mount. This is an eye piece which zooms from 8mm - 24mm for viewing through the telescope and also allows you to mount a Canon SLR to take photos through the telescope.
- Bintel 2 inch diagonal for better viewing with the Baader Hyperion above
- Orion shorttube 80mm telescope with Losmandy dovetail to mount everything on top of the Celestron. I used this as a guidescope.
- QHY 5-II planetary camera. This can either be used to take photos through the telescope. I used it connected to the above Orion guidescope to automatically track the sky I was imaging and control the Celestron telescope.
The final photo is with the full setup and works really well together.
I can do the whole package for $2500 (Canon SLR not included)
