Sadly selling my very first scope as it doesn’t get much used any more since I upgraded to a 12” mirror.

Celestron Nexstar 5SE (http://www.celestron.com/browse-shop/astronomy/telescopes/nexstar-5se-computerized-telescope) items include:

Celestron Tripod with Mount and EQ wedge.
Celestron 5” OTA with StarBright XLT coating and red-dot starfinder.
Secondary mirror has Bobs Knobs fitted for easy collimation.
Celestron 25mm e-lux Poessel eyepiece.
Celestron 1.25” star diagonal.
RS-232 cable to remote control the mount (works great with Stellarium).
Photo adaptor cable (to remote control a DSLR).
Manual and Quickstart guide.
Self made dew shield (not pictured).
Celestron 12V AC power adapter with long cables
Celestron 12V car adapter cable, very long cable
Celestron Piggi-back mount for (DSLR) cameras
(comes with additional adaptor plate to fit larger OTAs)
Adjustable 4-6” Bahtinov focus mask: $14 (removed)

Price all together $649.

Optics are clean. There are some small dust spots at the inside of the corrector plate which are not affecting observing. Everything is fully functional, but there is some cosmetic wear here and there.

OTA has some cosmetic paint marks, (see picture). Back plate of diagonal has some cosmetic paint marks.

Pickup preferred, but can "deliver" between Tweed Heads and Ballina, sometimes up to Logan.

Still have packaging and can post Australian wide.

PMs only please.

I'll put up my hand for the Bahtinov focus mask if you'll let it go separately :D

Lots of view, not too much interest.
Will keep it here in the forum until the weekend.
Then I will list it on ebay.

So anyone who is seriously considering buying the scope please contact me before Monday.

Now all together $649 (see description).

It's a nice little Goto scope and can be used for beginners astrophotography as the mount can be used in Alt/Az and EQ mode.

The piggyback mount is great for DSLR wide-field astrophotograph.
