Mead MTS SN8

Posted By Doug Waymire

There are a few factors that would determine the value of the SN8 telescope. I am not sure what the MTS is referring to but the SN8 usually comes with a LXD75 mount or the older LXD55 mount. If the telescope has a goto system it is worth more than without. The goto model is the AT model and the non-goto is the EC model. If the SN8 has UHTC coatings it is worth more than the standard coatings. A brand new SN8 AT with standard coatings is $999. The UHTC coated version is over $100 more. The age and condition will be factors in the asking price.
