Not sure if I'll get much interest here, but who knows...

I'm looking to upgrade, so I'll have to sell this to free up some space and money. The scope is in good condition and I recently re-lubricated the focuser for smoother focus. Also, the insides of the tube are flocked to reduce any internal reflections and increase image contrast.

It comes with:
- Orion solar filter
- tube rings
- 2" mirror diagonal with the 1.25" adapter

What it does *not* come with:
- dovetail bar
- finder scope
- eyepieces
- mount and/or tripod

This telescope is geared more towards wide angle viewing, so it's good for star clusters, nebulae, etc... You'll also get good viewings of the moon and the sun, but not so much the planets without the aid of Barlow magnifier lenses.
