WTS: 50mm finderscope , Celestron prism , eyepiece & tripod & camera & microscope

Post by Hardwarezone »

PM me for contact , self collect at Choa Chu Kang MRT station.
Please hit a minimum spend of $10 for meetup , I don't think it's worth it for both of us to meetup over $2 item

Item B1 $45
9x50 finderscope right-angle left-right reversed
it's using a fresh O-ring , will include 1 more spare.
Thick mirror inside , match the left-right reverse view in refractor and SCT.
A ring of haze around the main lens , inside of eyepiece (plossl) have fungus.
Main lens and the plossl are cemented doublet , cannot separate to clean the haze or fungus remains.
Sunlight sterilized in multiple 3 minute period to halt the fungus from growing bigger. Metal tube body washed with soap and dried by drybox.

Item B2 $35
celestron prism diagonal 1.25" 94115-A
coating damaged by me for leaving hand sanitizer on it overnight
I test it to 200x magnification in daytime , collimation OK after reassemble

Item B3 $42 per eyepiece
celestron 25mm plossl 1.25" , available quantity 2
1 piece incomplete orange words because I rubbed it too hard with cleaning cloth
made in china within these 10 years , not the vintage "halloween"
different coating since different production batch
ImageImage


Item B4 $22
32mm plossl
purple coating 1.25" , with dust caps & black velvet bag

Image


Item B8 $8

with casing

Item B11 $9
Aluminium rectangle with Celestron label , 1.4mm thickness , removed from OTA dovetail
Image


Item B13 $2 each
moon & skyglow filter $2 each , two quantity available
nearly new unused condition , test usage 30 minutes
1 piece no fault , 1 piece slight scratch midway between center to edge visible when handheld
on moon it does increase contrast in the center 50% but make the outer 50% less sharp , that's why I'm selling away
handheld eyeball test it does instantly reveal more detail on roadside grass and cars , similar effect to polarized sunglasses remove sun reflection
I don't think the skyglow filter work that well since Singapore shift towards LED streetlights not on the previous 590nm wavelength
unable to confirm is glass or plastic
Image

1.25" 66 degree eyepiece 9mm , $30
new unused condition
about 15mm eye relief , multicoated

SCT to m42*0.75 male , m42 female to 1.25" diagonal holder with brass ring
Bought this to try because youtube Ed.T says upgrade the visualback ,
I tried staying at 1.25" size but this SCT female adapter too little threads and the SCT OTA rear too long blank space before threads begin
Result is only secure by 5/6 of a turn, not safe for my 5se OTA so sell for others who may be compatible.

Added 2 eyepieces and 1 filter
Added more photos to demo the tripods in portable setup

There is enough resistance to hold the 1.1kg scope at high angle without locking the clutch.
The resistance is unsuitable for high magnification because opposite of "slippery smooth".
Tripod 3.5kg without triangle tray , folding stool 1.2kg , scope and stool not included just show usage for photo.
Suitable affordable tripod upgrade if your current beginner telescope have trapezoid shape vixen dovetail attachment.
Image

Can hold 1.1kg scope at high angle but not suitable.
Best for under 1kg , frequent height adjustment , near horizontal (binoculars)
