WTB : Celestron SCT

Post by Bluealf »

Hi

I am a just getting started in astronomy. I am looking for a scope that is portable (to bring on my trips up North) and maintenance free (sealed). Have narrowed it down to :

1. Sky Prodigy 6 (like the idea of the auto alignment feature);
2. NexStar 6SE (decent aperture as well and the 3 star alignment feature seems simple enough?);
3. NexStar 5SE (good size, decent aperture I think); or
4. NexStar 4SE (looks really portable Maksutov, but concerned about the aperture size).

Anyone selling these scopes? For a decent price?

Thanks!

Need to set aside part of the budget for dry storage by thristy hippo or camera dry cabinet , as the "sealed" designs are more prone to trapping stagnant humid singapore air which will encourage fungus growth. For eyepieces & diagonal storage too.
