Welcome to the East Valley Astronomy Club's Classified Ads
This hard to find OTA is from the last run of Meade’s GPS model, and has had the internal counterweight removed for greatly improved cool-down times. The internal works were cleaned. Mechanical parts were lubricated with Peterson Engineering non-petroleum grease. All screws were replaced with stainless steel.
UHTC coatings on all surfaces: Pyrex primary mirror (8.25”) and BK7 meniscus, 2670mm (f10) focal length.
This scope allows for a wider field than expected and works well with a focal reducer. The mirror-lock works well with the external focuser for no image shift.
The accessories include; Dual Losmandy rails (full length), a Meade 60mm illuminated reticule finder, and extra “foot” for mounting a pointing device. A factory dew shield, a Moonlight CS Crayford focuser, (rotatable dual speed), a Pelican carry case (26”x20”x10.5”interior) and a cord for the fan (comes with the OTA anyway). The Feather-touch assembly was sold just after this photo was taken, but the external Moonlight focuser is even better.
This is the OTA my Astromart articles were based on. It rocked at the Grand Canyon party last June. There’s over $2,700 and lots of elbow grease invested, but a package deal for $1,600. Ci-700 mount, diagonal and eyepiece not included.
I can deliver anywhere within a day’s drive from Phoenix, AZ, but can ship anywhere USA or Canada. I don’t know how much it would cost to ship outside North America.

In celebration of the 17th anniversary of the launch and deployment of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope,
a team of astronomers is releasing one of the largest panoramic images ever taken with Hubble's cameras.
It is a 50-light-year-wide view of the central region of the Carina Nebula where a maelstrom of star birth
— and death — is taking place. This image is a mosaic of the Carina Nebula assembled from 48 frames taken
with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. The Hubble images were taken in the light of neutral hydrogen
during March and July 2005. Color information was added with data taken in December 2001 and March 2003
at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Red corresponds to sulfur, green to hydrogen,
and blue to oxygen emission.
I have many 42x84 Carina Nebula wall mural size photos mounted on 1/4 inch foam photo board for a child's room
or any area or room wall or ceiling in the home. I am also accepting donations to fulfill my desire to see one
in every science class, public and school library to inspire our children to look up. The price is $150 dollars
mounted and 100 dollars in a shipping tube. I also have a 5 ft wide body printer and can print your photos at
similar pricing. Let me know and I can bring the photo to a meeting or star party for viewing or pickup.

Due to health need to sell, I can’t lift it anymore
Five year old SCT with lots of great years left on it. An 11 inch f/10 Celestron SCT in a fork mount. With tripod, dew shield, spare handpaddle, cooling fan, 1.25" diagonal. This is the version that a Starizona Hyperstar can easily convert into a fast optical system for excellent results using your CCD camera. Or, as I have done, use it for an excellent visual experience with a set of very good optics and easy to use Celestron GOTO system with GPS. Right now it is mounted in my backyard observatory at 7th Street and Thunderbird in Phoenix. So, if we can get a clear night, we can view with the scope and you can see for yourself. I am not willing to pack it up and ship it at this point, so looking for local buyer. Many of you have looked through this scope at a variety of lo0cal star parties and I hope to find someone ready to buy it from those views.
SkyQuest XT-10 Classic:
This 6" f4 Dob has a plasticast mirror and a 2" focuser. It could use a new coating, but still works great. The 31 Nagler in the photo is not included, cinder blocks are optional. Price $200. If interested, contact Steven Aggas.
