Celestron NexStar 8i Special Edition

A 20-year-old classic that sadly has sat in a closet for half of that time.  (It was my wife's and she never quite got the bug like I did.)  So, we're selling it as is for a great price.  I haven't used it in years, but the last time we had it out, it worked just fine.  It includes the original 26mm Plossl eyepiece (not shown) and has an installed extension bracket, which you can see in the pics.  It was to allow clearance for a 2" star diagonal, which we never got around to trying.  The original finder scope died, so I will include a like-new Celestron Star Pointer Pro finder scope.

It would be great if someone could pick it up here or do a reasonable drive-by.   (I'll give you a tour of my observatory!)  Otherwise, I have it packed up in three boxes and I'll put it in the mail at your expense.  I have PayPal, Zelle, and Venmo accounts if that helps.

Shoot me a message if you have any questions.  This little guy deserves a good home.
