Looking for Celestron C5 f/6 OTA or C5 f/10 OTA - Found

Post by addy »

I am looking for Celestron C5 (5") f/6 OTA. The standard C5 is a f/10 model (if I am not wrong)..

I guess this is an older model as I could not find it in celestron web-site. If you are willing to let it go, please drop in a line with your contact number and expected price.

cheers

That is an old and rare animal. I thought I saw an ad on astromart recently. Why not try the regular C5 with focal reducer? That will bring it down to F/6.3.

Gosh, you want to find this? Easier to find a good woman to be your wife than to find this old fella....

Get a focal reducer on the f/10 version and you solve your problem.

thanks for your advise.. I think that makes a better sense.. The only reason I was looking for this model is that it doubles up as an excellent 750mm f/6 telephoto mirror lens.. In fact it was meant to be a telephoto mirror lens than a telescope..

Open to Celestron F/10.. PM me if you have one to let go..
