Vintage black-tube C8 SCT with clock drive on wedge and tripod, w/Telrad

Condition: This is a vintage classic C8 with a black tube. We estimate this scope is about 35 years old, from between the late eighties through the mid-nineties, when the previous owner acquired it. It is in excellent condition: the optics are clean, with no scratches. There is a minimal amount of dust on the corrector plate that won't affect your views or use of the scope. The body of the tube and fork arms are also almost completely unmarked. The unified wedge and tripod are in very good shape. This is the fork-mounted OTA with clock drive, with an EQ wedge and a lightweight tripod. It includes a Telrad, visual back, diagonal, and a couple of vintage eyepieces. One eyepiece has no markings on it whatsoever; the other is a 40mm Rini. It also includes a vintage set of planetary filters and a vintage variable polarizing filter. Everything works just as it should: the clock drive makes noise when you plug it in (although you will need to get a fresh 9V battery in the power source); the focus knob turns appropriately; the RA knob moves the scope in the RA axis. There is no shipping available for this item; this is for in-store purchase only. 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly on wedge and tripod 2032 mm focal length (f/10) Specifications Aperture (mm) 203.2 mm (8 in) Focal Length 2032 mm (80 in) Focal Ratio 10 Highest Useful Magnification 480 x Light Gathering Power (Comp... 843 x Limiting Stellar Magnitude 14 Lowest Useful Magnification 29 x Optical Design Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Celestron black tube Optical Tube Length 17 in (432 mm) Optical Tube Weight 12.5 lbs (5.67 kg) Resolution (Dawes) 0.57 arc seconds Resolution (Rayleigh) 0.69 arc seconds Secondary Mirror Obstruction 9.77% Secondary Mirror Obstruction 2.5 in (64 mm)
