Stop me from selling: C8

[jermng]

Dear all,

I don;t know where to post this -

I'm thinking of selling my C8 with OTA padded softcase, Vixen dovetail, camera piggyback mount and Kendrick Kwik Focus, Solar Filter, 2" visual back.

All of the above for $700.

Will also include 2" WO Dielectric Diagonal for additional $100.

Thing is, I am really half-hearted in selling the above. Selling cos I currently don't have a mount for this OTA and obviously not been using it much - and of course, need to raise money (for the big day)

But I'm thinking I should probably keep it for "future use" as this is a good sample which I really like ...

Someone, stop me from selling!!!

But if you're interested, do drop me a PM, we can work something out ..... hmmmm

ok..i'm interested! haha! how's the condition?

The outside's been "well-used" - scratches on the dovetail etc. but the optics are pristine.

Below is a picture of jupiter taken awhile back using this C8 after careful collimation. BTW, I didnt take this, another veteran astrophotographer took this after he helped me with the collimation.

Talking bout that, the C8 comes with Bob's Knobs too.

Yes c8 was my 2nd scope...my first c4r did not really got me hook onto astro hobby, but c8, i was hook on...so newbie....quickly grab a c8 if you can...ie if you look at Mars...the c8 will be very decent...for Jupiter..either a c8 or 4" refractor...they are quite the same.
