WTS: 50mm finderscope , Celestron prism , eyepiece & tripod & camera & microscope
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
for more photos and story click the album https://imgur.com/a/xrbjheX
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
Item B4 $22
32mm plossl
purple coating 1.25" , with dust caps & black velvet bag
came with celestron C90 scope although no brand marking on the eyepiece
Item B8 $8
kson uhc filter 1.25"
with casing
Item B11 $9
Aluminium rectangle with Celestron label , 1.4mm thickness , removed from OTA dovetail
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
Item X
1.25" 66 degree eyepiece 9mm , $30
new unused condition

Re: WTS: small cheap parts & camera & microscope & celestron tripods
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.
Can hold 1.1kg scope at high angle but not suitable.
Best for under 1kg , frequent height adjustment , near horizontal (binoculars)
