The C5+ is unbeatable as the most compact and portable 5" scope, now no longer in production. It is only 2.8kg and 11" in length. It works well as a second (grab-and-go) scope, a beginner's first scope or as a spotting scope.
Currently I am considering to upgrade to a bigger scope, so I will be clearing out these items from my dry cabinets.

1. Celestron C5+ ota (f/10, 1250mm focal length) white tube with metal end-cap
