I've had a lot of fun playing with the Backpacker. Mostly keeping an eye on our backyard Gator. The scope has good optics . F/14 90mm Maktosuv OTA (same scope as a C90. The mount is tabletop, has motors and will track objects after alignment. The package / box includes the Backpack (like new, never used,) - Well, I'm having trouble stuffing the backpack in the box, so I might keep it, - the OTA, Mount, a 8X 30mm correct image finder, a correct image 1&1/4" diagonal, four Eyepieces, a visual back and a visual back adapter (replaces the original) that allows standard Celestron accessories to attach to the scope. The mount is not "go to" as is, but the addition of a Sky Watcher hand control or a computer with the S-W Pro app will make it a "go to" mount. Everything is in nice shape EXCEPT the RJ11? The connector for the hand control has lost it’s “flap”. Considering my level of technology, I stick a toothpick alongside the connector to keep it pressed tight to the mount port. (Works fine!) But it should have a new connector. I’m asking $250, or OBO or a swap for ??. I’d prefer a local pickup. Or, I guess I could ship for an additional $50. I’ll include printouts of everything I’ve been able to find on the net re the BackPacker.
