Celestron SE owners

Post by hommel »

Just collected my Celestron 5SE today, i understand that celestron has two types of tubes, one painted and another anodised. I can't differentiate which is mine, it is a beautiful copper metallic shade, doesn't look painted to me. Could mine be anodised?

I guess it should be the same as both the SLT & SE share the same handset & firmware.
