MEADE MODEL 20808†Schmidt-Cassergain TelescopeIncludes:• 8†Schmidt-Cassergrain Optical tube• 8X50mm straight through view-finder• Optional Equatorial Wedge• 2 eye pieces (1 ¼ O.D.) MA 9mm (222x), MA 25 mm (80x)• Eye piece holder (1 ¼)• Hex wrench set• Foam-lined, locking carrying case• Instruction Manual• Astronomy Books and Sky charts• Field Tripod for model 2080 This was my first serious telescope. It was manufactured when Meade’s quality was at it’s highest and they offered a lifetime warranty (for original purchaser). It is in excellent condition with no dents or scratches on the painted surfaces or the lenses. The drive motor works properly, tracking objects across the skies. It is big enough to see distant planets, galaxies and nebulae. It is portable and can be set up by one person.Here is some information from the original brochure from Meade about this Telescope:“Deep space phenomena take on a new character when explored through the tremendous light gathering capability of the 8†Model 2080. Galaxies begin to show their essential structure; globular clusters are resolvable in fine detail, in some cases to the core of the cluster; diffuse gas clouds like the Orion Nebula are visible in such wide extensions that the Nebulosity may fill the field of view. This listing only hints at the breadth of galactic and extra galactic objects visible through the eyepiece of Meade model 2080; it is a rare observer indeed who might in a lifetime view all of the enumerated phenomena in the above categories.â€Â· Shipping to the lower 48 in the USA only· Shipping rate estimate is $160.00 (if rate is lower I will refund the difference)· This item will be shipped in 2 packagesThe estimate cost of shipping is to the west coast from Florida.
