For Sale Celestron 102mm f/5 achromatic refractor – $175 plus shipping if needed – SOLD!

Sold in one day.

Included is the OTA , lens cap, mounting rings and bracket for CG-5 or similar mount, and 45 degree eyepiece holder.  Will also throw in second set of mounting rings that I once used to attach this OTA to an 8″ SCT to use as a guide scope if desired. 

Meade ETX-90 OTA for sale $125 plus shipping if needed — SOLD!

Sold in one day.

Included is the OTA with finder, lens cap, an adapter to change the threaded back to use standard SCT accessories, and a flexible focus cable.  At one point the scope fell off a tripod because I hadn’t secured it properly and the plastic back cracked but I fixed that and it is fully functional despite the visible crack. Since it is an ETX, there is a flip mirror to direct the light to the built in eyepiece or straight out the back to an option accessory.   Contact Jim Dixon at JamesDixonLR at ATT dot NET
