Celestron EdgeHD 8 OTA SCT - EXCELLENT +Bobs Knobs

For sale is a very gently used Celestron EdgeHD 8" SCT.  I've decided to downsize my astro hobby a bit and I have another project to fund so here's a very good scope that's practically new you can save some money on without having to wait for it to become available at most online retailers.  Looks like there's a year+ lead time from what I've seen.

As you can see in the pictures, it still has the factory packaging material on the tube that I never removed.  No issues whatsoever!  It will arrive in the factory box (double boxed with all original foam packing) just as new.  Includes everything it came with new, including:

• Celestron 8" EdgeHD Telescope OTA with StarBright XLT Coatings

• 9x50 Finderscope (never used)

• 40 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25" (never used)

• 1.25" Star Diagonal (never used)

• CGE Mount Dovetail Rail

Also includes the top vixen dovetail rail ($100 value) that i installed, useful for mounting accessories.  I will leave it installed. There's a set of Bob's Knobs ($23 value) that I never got around to installed.  They're also included.

I also have other classifieds posted here that can be used with this scope if anyone is interested, i.e.  focal reducer, EAF (and bracket for this scope), aluminum dew shield, OAG, etc.  Some of it may have already sold.

Price includes shipping inside the USA and any paypal fees (though friends and family would be greatly appreciated since shipping will not be cheap).

Thanks and clear skies!!
