I bought this telescope in 2004 and have taken care of it. I'm selling it complete with everything it came with. All components are original with the exception of upgrading the focuser with the Peterson focus kit and a new Audiostar handbox. The OTA is even in the original Meade carton, as are many of the components. I last checked and adjusted collimation in April 2018. I then placed it in the original carton where it has remained. I am selling everything "as is" because it is in used condition. I recommend getting sufficient insurance coverage if shipped. I will not guarantee functionality of the telescope if shipped. The OTA does not have a mirror lock. This sale consists of:

  • Forked 8" OTA with fully functional motor drives.
  • Meade AC/DC power converter with long power cord which can also be plugged into 12vdc car outlet.
  • Meade 2" tripod it came with, as pictured.
  • Meade 8x50 finderscope, rings and mount as pictured.
  • Meade 07202 diagonal prism.
  • Meade Series 4000 Super Plossl 26mm 1.25" eyepiece.
  • Meade 07182 eyepiece holder.
  • Meade 07352 #62 T-adapter.
  • (2) Series 4000 f/6.3 Focal Reducers (made in China).
  • Upgraded Meade Audiostar handbox with cable and clip. Less than 1 year old.
  • Original instruction manual.

I will also include the following if you want them:

  • Meade standard Equitorial Wedge 07002. Reduce the price $50.00 if you do not want the wedge.
  • Celestron soft dew shield as pictured in outdoor setup.
  • Homemade black plastic Bahtinov mask

Everything is boxed up and ready to go. 3 packages total - OTA, tripod, and accessories. Local pickup or meet is preferred. I would like to avoid shipping for the sake of the OTA not being bounced around. Shipping by the buyer's desired method, buyer pays shipping. I will accept PayPal or credit card for shipped sale. Those payment methods and cash for local pickup or meet.
