I have a complete Orion SVD 200mm scope for sale. It has a 9x50 finder. The equatorial SVD mount has a RA motor and the two original 25mm and 9mm Orion Plossl eyepieces are included. I also have all original manuals and the original Orion packing boxes. This scope has been used about thirty times for short periods of time (2 hours or less) and is in excellent condition. I haven't cleaned the tube of finger prints yet, but cleaned up it would be hard to tell from brand new. The mirror is center marked, is very clean, has never been washed, and doesn't need to be. This scope is very compact, not very heavy, and is very easy to set up. It is an excellent scope but it does require very careful collimation since it is an f4. I'm selling it because I have 5 other scopes and just bought a new Tal 200K. I don't need two 200mm scopes. I am asking $350. If you want it shipped, then you would have to pay the shipping cost. I'm located in Fayetteville.

do you Have any Pic of the scope and do you think the Drive would Drive a SLR 35mm Cannon on top Piggy Back style for some wide feild Astrophoto Work if so I would be very Intersested in it I am in Fort Smith and would be willing to Drive up and Talk to you about it too my Twin Brother and I are looking for a Nice scope like this one

This is an 8" reflector (if you want to be technical, the mirror for an 8" should be 203mm) on an equatorial mount with a RA motor only. I would not guarantee that the motor would drive the scope with a camera mounted piggy back. To be honest, while I know the motor actually runs, I have never used it. First of all, for the RA motor to be useful, you must have reasonably perecise polar alignment, something I never bother with (the mount does have a polar alignment finder). Secondly, a very inconvienient feature of the motor is that, once it is engaged you can no longer manually adjust the RA. To manually adjust the RA you must disengage the motor. Thirdly, for the motor to track properly, the RA tension must be adjusted, another thing I never bothered to do. In summary, while I got a RA motor with the mount, I've only really used the scope in manual mode. I do have some pictures of the scope and sent you an email about them.
