Celestron NexStar 5SE for sale. Scope is in excellent condition, is the current model and in perfect working order.
Specifications as per link: http://celestron-optics.com.au/Home/tabid/409/CategoryID/1309/List/1/Level/a/ProductID/2310/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName% 2cProductName. Current site price $1795.
Accessories: Eyepiece and filter set as per link: http://celestron-optics.com.au/Home/tabid/409/CategoryID/1279/List/1/catpageindex/2/Level/a/ProductID/2440/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName% 2cProductName Current site price $379.
Also included is an E-Lux 25mm Plossl (around $95) and a bubble level (around $5).
I lost the receipt when shifting and the NexRemote software disk - I thought it was a wank anyway. I prefer to use Cartes du Ciel, which I am using with my recent 8" purchase. This is why I am selling.
All up there is $2274 value ($1795 + $379 + $95 + $5) - a bit less for a package deal. I will throw in 8 AA batteries.
I am asking $1450 - which is more than 1/3 off.
Photos to follow - will upload them soon.:thumbsup:

Hmmmm.....270 viewings but no feedback or interest?!?
What if the price was $1300?
$1795 new. That is $495 less than the cost of the scope and effectively eyepieces for free. It is in excellent condition. It makes a nice second scope for me but I can't justify it.

Hi Andrew,Sorry, not sure where Heidelberg is....... am in SA and wondering about postage?Thanks,Lisa

Heidelberg is in Victoria. Given the weight of the package, postage is likely to be around $25 (based on 20kg Australia Post).

It was brought to my attention that on my links the prices have changed from Celestron Optics. They are offering the scope for $1495 new and the eyepiece package $365. So the value of my package is really $1495 (+postage) + $365 + $95 + $5 = $1960 (not $2274 as first stated). I was asking $1300 for the package but I this is somewhat negotiable given the above-mentioned information. $1300 still represents a 1/3 saving.
Regards,
Andrew:hi:

695 viewings, 3 expressions of interest, but no sale!!
What's going on here?
Asking $1200 for the package. If no interest, I'll use it as a play scope and sell it a later date. Or perhaps eBay?
