This Vixen VMC200L offers great, bright views of many DSOs and solar system objects. Its open-tube design allows it to cool faster than SCTs. And because the focuser is external, behind the mirror, it doesn't have any of the focus-shift issues that affect SCTs and dewing has never been a problem. It's a great design! Because it has an open tube, the mirror has a little dust so you might want to clean it but it isn't necessary.

Price is $225 and I'll pay shipping to the lower 48. A new VMC200L is $899 so why am I selling this so low?

It has cosmetic issues...
1) Sadly, it tipped on its tripod while in my house (not outside) hitting a piece of furniture which put a 2" long shallow dent in it. It is noticeable if you are looking for it but, otherwise, not very. See the last pic. I've used this telescope many times since --  views are just as good as before and are not affected by the dent. 
2) It also has multiple small marks/indentations along the mounting rail where it attached to the mount.

It comes with its original box and manual. Sorry, the Orion 2" diagonal pictured is not included but available for $50.  This telescope might be perfect for you if you are looking for an 8" at a very low price and won't mind the cosmetic issues.
