WTB: illuminated reticle or astrometric eyepiece

my previous one was stolen during a break-in with my other ep...

anyone got one they don't need any more want to let go?

prefer the astrometric one over just a simple cross-hair...

thanks,

WTB - zoom eyepiece

hi, anyone got a zoom eyepiece to let go? i need one for an upcoming public event... i used to own a hyperion 8-24mm but it was stolen with most of my other eyepieces... this time, any thing fairly decent (celestron, skywatcher, etc.) will do, but quality offers will be welcomed too. thank you, --kong
