Celestron Omni XLT 120 Refractor Telescope
Condition is Used. Collection only.
Includes all boxes and packaging – collection only please, due to size and weight.
Description
A serious astronomical refracting telescope with a focal length of 1000mm, making it ideal for observing lunar and planetary objects. Also has excellent light gathering ability, for looking at deeper space objects.
Very well looked after. Mostly housed in a box in the spare room. Taken outside on dry warm nights on very few occasions. Observations mostly done through open doors.
One of the scope bracket rings has a crack running through its base, hence the greatly reduced price, but the scope tube is still fixed tightly despite this. Currently available only in the US for around $660.
All tripod and telescope items are included – ready to go. Includes Celestron 25mm coated lens, instruction manual and CD.
