A coworker of Shane Peterson's wife's has this telescope for sale. Although the school cannot buy used equipment, I thought you might know of an interested party. The following is all the information I have:

For Sale

Astronomical Telescope

Celestron - 8

Enhanced optical coating

Equatorial fork mount

Clock drive

Equatorial wedge

Tripod

3 eyepieces

carrying case

This instrument has been used less than 10 times and is in excellent condition. It features an exquisite Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system and a Celestron forged metal mount which is much stronger that cast mounts usually seen on this type of telescope. The eyepieces include a 25mm Celestron SMA, and two Meade Research Grade Orthoscopics in 12mm and 9mm.

Price $795
