If you come to look at my telescope, prepare to be impressed.
It's unlikely you will ever find an Ultima 8 in better condition.
This telescope has rarely left my house or back yard and has been treated with utmost care.
Looks pretty much like the day it left the factory.
You will be amazed at the optical quality and tracking accuracy.
The internal rechargeable batteries were getting a bit weak, so I just replaced the
batteries with a fresh set that I purchased a few weeks ago (see receipt).
When away from an AC source, the batteries can run the telescope for about 8 hours.
