hi Sandeep,
The C8 is about 4years old but the optics are clean. The only defect is image shift during focusing which is a standard problem in SCT's. You are welcome to arrange a meeting to view it.
Anyway, i've added a picture of moon taken by this c8.
Thanks.

Hi all, this C8 on sale is actually mine. I am selling it because I am upgrading. It is definitely not made during the Halley era where SCT quality dropped till .....
I welcome interested buyers to take a look first. Then can consider better right?
