MWTS: Celestron C6R *SOLD*
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2007 2:26 am
Thinking of selling my 6" Celestron refractor. Typical refractor views - pin point stars and happening planetary views. Chromatic Abberation is effectively subdued by a Minus Violet filter.
The ONLY reason I'm selling it is cos I don't have a tracking mount stable enough for it now and it's hard for me to justify keeping it unused for another 6mths-1 year before I get a beefier mount.
I will include an EQ-5 clone mount+tripod with it. The C6R works with it when using to view star clusters and DSOs using low-med power, but high power viewing requires a more substantial mount. (HEQ-5 minimum or EQ-6 recommended)
OTA only + "free" mount: $600.
Comes with misc accesories like 9x50 meade finder, sunday bag for the OTA etc.
*That's the price I bought it used about 2 months ago but only got to use the OTA twice in total due to weather. I dont want to lose money on this, and I think $600 is a fair price for a 6" refractor.
If the scope doesn't go, I'll just keep it and use it in Alt-Az mode for low-med power views instead of the higher power planetary work I intended it for originally.
Or wait till a higher capacity tracking mount comes. 
PM me if you're interested. Thanks for looking!
