After another round of scope rationalisation this excellent little telescope is now surplus to requirements.
It's the 'classic' black tube model from the 1990s, originally sold with an EQ mount as the G5.
Condition is excellent. It was cleaned and collimated last year by Bintel and has been only lightly used since then. Optically it's very good and probably the sharpest SCT I've owned.
Included in the sale are:
- C5 OTA with short Vixen dovetail bar
- Metal front cover
- 1.25" visual back
- 6x30 finderscope & bracket (not pictured)
- Vixen/Synta style finder dovetail base (glued on at 90° to the Celestron finder position)
- Home-made foam dew-shield (slides over the OTA and also insulates the tube)
* There is no mount, eyepiece or diagonal included.
The two finder dovetails allow the scope to be used on the left or right side of an alt-az mount.
Local pickup is preferred (Ryde, Sydney) but I can ship if required.
Asking $380 ono.
Enquiries by PM.
