Cool. 8 inch Schmidt Cassegrain, gets good reviews. Mount may be bit weak, won’t take a lot of abuse.

If it only has a 25mm eyepiece, get a 10mm. Reviews I read said it just comes with a 25. You don’t say what accesories, power supply and 2x Barlow would be nice, moon filter is a good idea too. But remember image quality may suffer under higher magnification of 10mm or Barlow. Then again the 25mm and 2x Barlow might be a pretty good combo, mine does a good job.

Hope you like it, not a bad price, it retails for over $1100, some places $1400+.

With the deal I got a 12.5, 2x Barlow, e-lux 25mm, 4mm, 6mm, and a 32mm. Most are Plössl lenses.

Moon filter, 82a, 56, 12, polarizing #3, 21 and 23 a.

Plus a ED2 Barlow lens, which is for a bigger fitting on the ‘scope (I think).

Celestron power supply.

I am still moving stuff, so I can’t devote the time to this that I wish. Maybe next week/
