Celestron Orange Tube C8 with Byers Worm Gear Drive - $595 - (Santa Rosa, CA)
This is a vintage 1981 celestron orange tube C8 sct telescope. It is an F10 8" aperture schmidt cassegrain telescope. This model was near the end of the orange tube era as celestron soon went to the black models. This is left from my dealer days and has been forgotten for a long time. I kept quite a few of select telescopes for future use. Too many as it has happened. The scope needs to see starlight as its optics are excellent to say the least. An interesting feature is the byers worm gear drive in the base. This was a huge upgrade to the standard spur gear drive. The telescope sale includes, two 1.25" eyepieces a 40mm plossl, and a 6mm wide field. Also has a 1.25" visual back, 1.25" star diagonal, original belden power cord, original piggy back camera bracket, original dust cover, and the original 6x30 orange finder telescope. Telescope is in great condition and has been in its case unused in a dry environment.
