Hi gang,
I was given an 8” Celestron starhopper dob last week that needed some TLC. With some cleaning, laminate (provided by Mark Wagner) spray paint, and a bit of flocking I’ve got a smooth moving scope with an ok mirror.
I’m looking to donate it to a school, a needy youth, or someone who would use it for outreach. It’s got a 6x30 finder, 1.25” focuser, but no eyepieces.
Let me know if you, an organization, or someone you know fits the bill.
Richard
