Description:
1) Celestron EQ fork mounted tripod and mount, circa 1986, for C-11 telescope.Very sturdy and stable system ($638 new)
2) Revolving plate from Howard Engineering allows 360° rotating of OTA..very convenient addition (~$150 new)
3) Celestron 10x20 spotting scope and mounting bracket (~$80 new)


All components in mint condition stored in padded containers. Original invoice prices in parentheses. Original invoice available to verify. Suggested selling price is very negotiable and open to discussion. I live in Darien Illinois.

I recently converted my C11 to a go-to system, hence the reason for selling. I recently joined the NAA so as to learn how to maximize the inherent capability this go-to system provides. Sale of this will allow me to add other accessories to my upgraded Go-To telescope. Plus my wife told me that I need to make room in the house.

Thank You for looking.

Scope was bought used from Cloudy nights Classifieds. OTA (and case) only with lens covers and 2" diagonal with 1-1/4" adapter. Has a finder base but no finder. Also a 1.25" 5mm Skywatcher 1.25" eyepiece and 20mm eyepiece, which I have not used. Glass is very clean. Not-so-good items: 1) focuser is stiff and may need attention. Telescope case looks good but appears to start coming apart if picking up by the handles. Cradling the scope case works and it works fine for storage. Need to clear out some space and this is somewhat large and bulky.

These go for $595 new.
The camera is in great condition and comes with a case and cables.
I used it in my Off-Axis Guider, which I no longer use.
