FOR SALE BY OWNER - This is a LIKE NEW Dobsonian Orion 12 inch SkyQuest XT12i Automated IntelliScope. Used only one time. The mirrors are immaculate.... I bought this from Orion in late 2015. It's only a few months old. It's in "NEW" condition. Indoor kept in a non-smoking home. We're selling because we have too many scopes and we are getting back into CCD astrophotography and video imaging, again, and want to buy a new Mallincam Video Camera.

It will also come with a NEW Orion LaserMate Deluxe II Laser Collimator (used once) and a 25mm Plossl eyepiece. See below for all the specifications and accessories. This is a very beautiful and powerful Dobsonian telescope. The views are awesome. I'm asking $875.00, OBO. Contact Dave - LOCATION - CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA, 33914. I think this will sell pretty quickly at this price so contact me if you're interested. Thanks, much....

Both the O tube and base have been silicon waxed and polished, twice, prior to first and only light.

Also comes with two (2) custom Dust Protectors - One for the primary mirror and one that covers 99% of the telescope - Valued at $160.00 (see photos)

Also, a padded, NEW NEVER USED, carrying/ travel case - Valued at $159.00 New (see photos)
