80eq isn't a good scope. Bad mount, bad diagonal.

If you like 130mm newtonian , can consider this

go opticsplanet.com
search "celestron omni 22152" , add to cart
select the cheapest shipping US 107.75
type a random ABCDE into the coupon box to get error code and a complimentary 5% discount code
total US 344.77 -> about 480 singapore dollars + additional 7% gst which I dunno how the local courier in Singapore will collect from the parcel recipient.
the website opticsplanet have it's share of user complaints, mainly they bill the credit card immediately which for us foreign users will lose out on exchange rate if cancel order/refund
Better focuser with 2" capability , removable aiming device (red circle not dot) , not reliant on table, can resell the slo-mo alt-az mount easily for some cash. Solid tube will also reduce the frequency of collimation over the retractable.
