For sale: Original Coulter Odyssey 2 dobsonian telescope - with large 17.5" mirror. Scope comes with the main tube assembly, dobsonian base, and mount for a telrad. It does NOT come with focuser. It does not come with a telrad device either, though I have one in storage somewhere if needed. :) It does NOT come with eyepieces. The mirror appears to be in pretty clean condition, and somewhat collimated... though I've never measured the optical quality. Reason for selling is I don't need two large scopes... I have another home-made 16" scope for myself.

Buyer must pick up ONLY.... although I can deliver it in my pickup for a fee (within 100 miles of Denver).

The telescope is large and fairly heavy. Bring blankets and padding during pickup. It will NOT fit in most cars... it's approximately 7 feet long! This is a classic Odyssey 2 with original paint -- it's the ORIGINAL consumer-level "light-bucket" telescope!! :) :)

Payment by cash or certified check.... OR by personal check 2 weeks in advance. IF I GET MULTIPLE OFFERS, IT WILL GO TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, EVEN IF ABOVE THE ESTIMATED $800 ASKING PRICE. I will consider it sold ONLY once money is received. :) :)

Email me ONLY if seriously interested.  You would not believe the # of flakes I've put up with so far with previous iterations of this ad.... sigh... but I'm making sure the Big Red Scope goes to a happy stargazer home!!!!!!!!  :)

Keep looking up! :) -Adam
