Hi,

I am trying to find a good home for my Cellestron Ultima 2000 8 inch telescope. The system has served me well since its purchase in 1998. I had it cleaned and recalibrated last year. The unit is in excellent condidition. However, viewing is becoming difficult for me. 

Included are:
   F/10 Telescope
   remote control
   Carrying case
   Tripod stand
   35 mm eyepiece
   25 mm eyepiece
   12.5 mm eyepiece
   7.5 mm eyepiece
   f/6.3 reducer
   moon filter
   solar filter
   homemade sun shade (to see the remote in daylight)
   dew shield

I thought someone in your organization (I was once a member of ATM of Boston) would be able to provide the use that this instrument deserves. I paid $2,968 for all of the above when new (plus shipping). Would like to pass it on for less than half that figure, perhaps $1,400.

If anyone is interested, I am located about 2 hours from the Boston area on Cape Cod.
