Try skyandtelescope.com or astronomy.com. I don't know if the websites have classifieds, but the magazines do. With a 'scope that elaborate, you'll be looking for serious astronomy fans.

Quote HistoryI don't know if that is a joke or not since the link does not work. I thought there was an astronomy forum here but if there is I didn't find it. |

Hopefully it will be someone in Texas or within a 12 hour drive from my location so I can deliver and get back home in a weekend. Otherwise they could drive and pick it up. I think the guys who do star parties are open to driving. |

There is a pretty good astronomy club in Baton Rouge that might help. Google them up!
Called the Baton Rouge Astronomical Society. They have a classified section in the forum. |

A 20" telescope is just about the creme-dela-creme, telescope-wise. Is there a reason you don't want to get a few eyepieces and use such a marvelous instrument? |

I'm am looking to get close to the $5000 mark. One like this just sold on eBay for $6000. However, beings that I don't know much about these I don't think I will be able to command as much of a premium price.

I believe everything is there. The mirror needs to be cleaned and I have read how to do it on the Obsession sight. However, I am wondering if I should let the new owner, who would know more than me, clean the reflective surface. |
