Criterion Newtonian Telescope ($125)
Plenty of life left in this 40 year old 8” f-6.5 Criterion Newtonian telescope. Refurbished reflector has simple Alt-Azimuth mount and comes with a 1-1/4” Meade focuser and an 8×50 straight through Meade finder. The mirrors are clean and the telescope comes with two eyepieces, an 18mm SvBony and a 12mm Celestron. This would make a great beginner telescope.
We greatly appreciate your support which helps us continue to share the wonders of astronomy in the Asheville, NC region.
