Celestron C8 on an AVX mount ready for observing or photography

This set includes a fairly new Celestron Advanced VX Go To Computerized mount with a 30# payload capacity combined with a Celestron C8 OTA. Everything works great the optics are very clear and perfectly maintained. The OTA is not new so it shows some scuffs and scratches but the optics are excellent. Comes with 2 eye pieces and all you need to get great views of the night sky. Also included a cell phone adapter to get some great pics of the moon and planets, AC power adapter, red light flashlight and the cases you see in the pictures. The telescope is always protected in the yellow suitcase the counter weight, controller and cables are in the small black case and the AVX mount is in the blue case. The tripod is just too long for any case or box. If you buy tsuch a set new you will pay over 1700$ plus and shipping. I am reducing the price to motivate the buyer who knows what a great deal this is. Asking for only 950$. This is too big and heavy to ship so pickup is preferred unless you pay for the shipping. Or we can work out for me to deliver to you if you are not too far.
