Looks like carrying that scope around will give you a serious 6-pack!

Heck, I'd sell mine for 400 with the newer smooth back cell.
Used extensively for astrolononomy. That's the best of both worlds. Look at really cool stuff then fantasize your brains out about it and apply it to the path of your life while the scope follows the path of your object. May the force be with you.

Did you catch the three lens that come with it, a star, a planet, and a galaxy lens?

If this guy paid $1600 then I think we know the real source of his son's intellectual genetics he so brutally stated.

Really works hard to get the most out of that sale, ... right?

My favorite CL ads are where they do a rotten picture, "trash talk" the scope, supply the extravagant amount they've supposedly spent, ... and then they want 2x what it ever cost new as the sacrifice deal they are tearfully making.

Chokes you up all inside...

He may have used it to hold up the garage door.
