I will be selling my Celstron C5, 5 inch SCT OTA package. It is the best C5 package out there and it is equiped with 2 inch highly reflective mirror diagonal, 9x50 correct image right angle finder, dot finder, skylight dust seal and dew shield. With it I observed a lot of objects and has seen action in USA too. I have seen Mars polar cap and recently I have seen the International Space Station structure with it. It works well and there is no worry of it not performing. It is collimated well by me too.

I am transparent about the cost. I will list down the rough original cost of it and that does not include shipping.

Original Cost:
1. C5 OTA ~ US$629
2. 2 inch high reflective diagonal from Liu Ming = S$200
3. Orion 9x50 Right Angle and CORRECT IMAGE finderscope (very good one) = US$80
4. Dovetail adaptor to incorporate Orion finderscope ~ US$10
5. Celestron Skylight filter = US$25
6. Astrozap dew shield = S$50
7. Scopetronix red dot finder = US$25

Total with conversion at 1.65 for USD to SGD = S$1519 (which is a lower estimate because it does not include shipping and the high exchange rates in the past).

All these are good accessories and all are first hand. Many of the accessories are new (few months old only).

Other items selling:
8. Meade SCT 0.63 Focal Reducer (like brand new) original price excluding shipping US$129. I offer S$140 (Allows 2 degree true field with 32mm Plossl)


I offer C5 package [items 1 to 7] S$950 FIRM. For C5 package with focal reducer [items 1 to 8] I offer S$1070 firm. Interested buyers can PM me and come and take a look at it; I am offering about 60 percent of what I paid for. Thanks for looking

any intention to split the finder and the finder's bracket?

Nope. It is a package.
