Starmaster 18" Zambuto f4.2 Goto/tracking Newtonian Telescope, Argo Navis Goto System, Paracor, Feather Touch Focus, Wheel Barrow Handles, Feathertouch focus, light shroud, telescope water proof cover, dew suppressionetc. No eyepieces are included. This telescope is loaded! 1999 or year 2000 model.

Optics appear in very good condition, but have not been recoated. Thus, I will discount $500 so you can use that toward  having the primary recoated by Carl Zambuto.

Zambuto Primary, field covers, etc.

I reached the point where I have to sell it, I am selling almost all of my gear trying to fund a Celestron Origin largly to continue my 56 years of astronomical outreach and personal research.

I physically cannot use it anymore and now I am selling almosst all my astro gear and telescopes (getting ready to sell a 6" loaded Celestron Evolution..LIKE NEW CONDITION!

I am not in a huge hurry and already turned down a firm offer of $5k for this tekescooe... I turned down an offer already for $5k, though I am willing to discount this price $500 to help pay for Carl Zambuto to realuminize this primary.

Pick up near Gainesville, FL. We will have to figure out how to make the exchange, 2 years ago I got scammed out of $1300 trying to buy a Celestron 6" SE likewise intended for outreach.

I am working with the AL and our county library system getting them into the AL Telescope Library Loan program, and I am working to found a Central Florida Astronomy and Meteorological Society for youth. So purchasing this scooe and my other gear will help in those efforts. I have already spent $1900 of my small retirement income in those efforts, and truly hope someone deserving this incredible telescope will see this purchase as helping me inspire a new generation of Youth!

Sorry for any typos, this is a pain on a cell phone!
