** TELESCOPE & EQUIPMENT FOR SALE **
**Brian Lane asks you to see his EBay Ad :
Celestron C8 Edge HD with CGEM II mount and accessories.
The ‘package’ is too comprehensive for the Website so please look on EBay. I have it on auction so price is flexible, especially f I don’t have to ship everything. The package includes a Hyperstar V4 and a lot of goodies that would ordinarily drive the retail price up if purchased individually.
This would be a good opportunity for someone to step up their home observatory.
