WTS: C5 OTA (SOLD)

Post by weixing »

Hi,
This is a C5 Spotting scope version with StarBright coating. Although it is a spotting scope version, it does come with a dovetail for Vixen EQ or clone mount and the dovetail is also threaded for mounting on standard camera tripod.

I brought this C5 OTA from my friend (who brought from Astro Scientific Centre) a few months ago to try out imaging on a SCT. I used this once in Mersing and I think less than 6 sessions in total... thanks to the haze and bad weather :( And my friend also seldom use this scope as he got other bigger scope... :P. As a result, this scope is really new (brought on 24 Sep 2004 base on warranty card)... basically been used less than 20 times in total, so the condition is really excellent.

Reason for selling is to get a used C8 to try out first and now I got a very good offer on a used C8.

Anyway, since I brought the C5 OTA only, it come with only the original foam case and the original 8x20 Erect Image Finderscope which is not good for Astronomy.... you need to get a better finderscope yourself as I don't have an extra finderscope to be included, but I'll put in a GSO 1.25" Star Diagonal, a Sky-Watcher 25mm Plossl (50x) and a Vixen 15mm Plossl (83x).

Selling price: S$700 (firm)
Items included:
1) Celestron C5 (Spotting Scope Version) OTA,
2) Original Foam Case,
3) Original 8x20mm finderscope,
4) GSO 1.25" Star Diagonal,
5) Sky-Watcher 1.25" 25mm Plossl, and
6) Vixen 1.25" 15mm Plossl

PM me if you are interested.

APERTURE: 127 mm (5 in)
FOCAL LENGTH: 1250 mm

Hi,
I didn't get the C8, so I'll keep this scope at the moment. I'll close the thread until I decided to put on sale again.

Thanks for looking and have a nice day.

Hi,
Aperture fever win over portability. :( So I decided to sell the C5 and wait for a larger scope that I can afford (hopefully portable enough) to appear somewhere... hee hee :P :P

Thanks for looking and have a nice day.
