I bought this off another forum member 3 months ago, but circumstances have changed so I'm putting it back up for sale to recover some costs. The scope was 6 months old when I purchased it - so still only 9 months old!!!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the scope. It is in perfect condition with not a mark on it, and is as new. This is the latest model C11 XLT with the sculpted back (same as CPC models). I've only used it 3 times (at home) since I got it, and it was very well looked after by the previous owner.
Although not really needed I have just had it cleaned and collimated by Bintel-Sydney, as there was a small amount of dust on the corrector (receipt dated 13/6/09). Views through the C11 XLT are excellent (as you would expect).
The scope comes with the original Celestron double boxes, and all standard accessories that come with the C11 are included:
- 40mm EP
- 9x50 finder and quick release bracket
- 3.25" to SCT/1.25" visual back
- Celestron 1.25" diagonal
- Celestron/Vixen dovetail
- Celestron corrector cover
The C11 XLT alone retails for over $5000 new.
Looking for offers around $3100. Will ship at buyers expense and local buyers are welcome to inspect.
Extras available with C11 (or separately if OTA is sold)
Moonlite Motorized Crayford for C11 with 3.25" visual back and Rigel hand controller (will throw in FCUSB computer focuser controller). This latest model also has inbuilt threads for attaching the F/6.3 reducer internally. Rock solid focuser for imaging. $500
ADM MDS accessory bar for C11
2x ADM MDS Adapters
2x ADM 100mm adjustable guide scope rings $220
As the previous owner of the scope before Nick, I can attest to this scopes quality, optics were great, the whole kit and caboodle makes an awesome deep sky and planetary imaging and viewing scope... I must admit, I do slightly regret selling this baby at times...
Good luck with the sale Nick, I dare say its a regretful sale...
