You are offerding on a Meade ETX-125EC Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope with UHTC (Ultra High Transmission Coatings). The telescope works great but only includes the items pictured, which are: The actual Telescope, the scope cover, the electric remote, and the Meade 884 Deluxe Tripod. The Tripod alone cost over $100. I have tested the Scope and remote and it works fine. The actual scope has some knicks and knacks but nothing worth "walking away" over. I will post all the imperfections soon. They will be that last pictures listed. I will refund if within 48 hours after receiving the scope you decide to return it. In that event, You will be responsible for the return shipping cost. Thank you for visiting!Specifications: ETX-125EC Astro Telescope
