There are some higher-end scopes on there too. Some prices reasonable, some not. I found these using the search term "telescope". Be sure to carefully examine a used telescope before purchasing. Test it on a terrestrial target before purchasing. If it has a drive, make sure the drive works. Seller are often open to an honest offer somewhat under their asking price. It never hurts to dicker. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
