WTB: C8 + Mount for School's Astro Club

QuantumGravity · Post by **QuantumGravity** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 11:16 pm

Hi all,

My school's astronomy club is interested to purchase a C8 + Mount w/ Tripod. Because of our very limited and tight budget, we have decided to turn to 2nd hand sources to purchase them, with hopes that it'll be within the budget. The school allows this as long as some form of receipt of the transaction is given.

Anyone willing to sell theirs? The OTA and Mount can be purchased separately.

For the mount, we're hoping to purchase a GOTO mount with slow-motion knobs for manual operation.

Please offer

Thanks!

The search engine is your friend. Kingkong is selling a C8 OTA and an optional mount at an extremely attractive price.

Yup. I already did before posting this up. Contacted him, but he'll only be in JB, so I'll have to make the transaction there, which is not possible for me.

If you want to consider a new 4" refractor, please pm me.
i can sell it to you and package it with a vixen gp mount and tripod at a subsidised price to help you start up.

Thanks for the offer. But because my school already owns a NexStar 5i, we're hoping to upgrade to a scope of larger aperture...
