[COLOR="Navy"][/COLOR]For sale is the highly sought after Meade 7 inch Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope. Refractor quality, almost 3d quality planetary images, high contrast stellar viewing, long focal length gives impressive image size and the scope never needs collimating. Purchased in 1999 the scope and mount were VERY rarely used and are virtually in mint condition. Oversized glass gives true seven-inch performance. This is truly an awesome telescope. It clearly out-performs Schmidt Cassegrains of same or larger aperature as well as rivaling refractors at many times the cost. One look through it at Saturn, Jupiter, Orion, the Moon, M13 or M42 proves this point.
Comes with everything listed below.
