Hi guys,
I'm looking to purchase an 8" sct for my Avx mount. I see that Highpoint has a Celestron C8 and an Orange tube se8 for about $165 less. From what I can tell is they are basically the same scope
Am I missing something?
Thx Mike

I have one and have had it for a few years. As far as I know the current model has a black tube ( could be wrong ).

Go for it! I bought the same orange tube from HPS and couldn't be happier.
These are brand new surplus 8" SCT OTAs which are typically included in Nexstar SE package.

Thanks for the input. Just pulled the trigger on the Orange tube! Looking forward to first light.
