Let's face it, we are deep in a recession, so I've reduced my prices:

I have a TELESCOPE for sale:

    8" (20.3cm) Meade Newtonian (vintage 1982)
        ---in excellent condition
        ---2.25" (5.7cm) guide scope with 9mm 0.925"(2.4cm) eyepiece
        ---new eyepiece mount with smoooooth motion
        ---equatorial mount with clock drive
        ---camera mount with hand made counterweight
        ---leveling screws and bubble level
    Eyepieces:
        ---40mm Meade Achromat Extra Wide Field
        ---25mm Meade Achromat
        ---12.5mm Optica Orthoscopic
        ---9mm Meade Achromat
        ---7mm Meade Achromat Wide Angle
        ---Meade 2-3x barlow tube
        ---Star Diagonal
    Filters:
        ---Celestron light-pollution/nebular filter
        ---Light blue filter for those reddish objects
        ---Dark green lunar filter (cracked)
        ---Two polarizer filters
        ---Solar diagonal with 0.01 and 0.10 filters
    Accesories:
        ---Accutrak Clock Drive Speed Corrector 
        ---Metal carrying box for stuff (with foam insert)

Everything is in very good to mint condition (especially the eyepieces)
I would like to sell the whole thing as a batch deal.

The brand new stripped down version of this scope sells for $600, but
the acessorized telescope, with mount, guidescope and drive with drive 
corrector only, I am asking:
                             $450

Entire set telescope with eyepieces and filters,
                                                 $725

Please respond via e-mail to jmcd@sdaf1.ssl.berkeley.edu
or to (510)559-9239 evenings.

Thanks!!
