Bushnell NorthStar 78 8850

I have a Bushnell NorthStar 78 8850 telescope for sale. There's also a Super 4 eye piece and a Celestron Xcel Series 31.7mm 10mm with it. (I'm going to list the Celestron eyepiece separately too).
The telescope has been used only about three times. Make me a suitable offer and its yours. I live in Avalon, Northern Beaches, Sydney - you can collect it or we can talk about it to arrange delivery.

I had one of these and found it great value for money

With a unique meniscus-shaped front glass lens element, the Maksutov Cassegrain Optical Design has a strong optical heritage in astronomy. Utilising a spherically curved front lens element in conjunction with a similarly curved primary mirror, this incredible design provides remarkably sharp images in a compact folded-light path package.

The total optical system provides a focal length much longer than the actual optical tube body length to yield an awesome imaging scope convenient enough to take out in the backyard or on the road. This advanced design has only typically been found on many higher-end systems often used by professionals. Now Bushnell brings this incredible professional design system to the NorthStar family.

NorthStarŽ telescope offers state-of-the-art computer-driven location and tracking capability with simple, push-button control. With a built-in data base of 20,000 celestial objects, you simply call up your target on the hand-held control module, enter a simple "Go To" command and the NorthStar computer does the rest. Once locked on, tracking the object for prolonged viewing is automatic. Innovative RVO (Real Voice OutputT) feature provides a fun, interactive way to explore the night sky. The remote, hand-held control module features red, backlit push buttons and a red, illuminated LCD read-out for easy viewing without impairing your night vision. The telescopes also feature a red dot finderscope. Additional features include a quick-release tripod and accessory tray for fast, easy assembly.

I would have bought it Karen, but had just bought another, virtually the same, about a week before you posted in August.
It looks a great little scope!!
Good luck.
