I have for sale my North Group 127mm APO triplet refractor with a Celestron CG5-Computerised Mount.

The Telescope

Time to sell this guy after sitting it in storage for the past few years while child-rearing duties took over.

Some good and bad news with this scope. The bad is that the scope took a bit of fungus damage on the optics while in storage.
The good news is that Roger Davis from Roger’s Optics and Restoration has just given the scope a thorough clean and collimation and it’s looking very good again.

For visual it remains very good, but I have not tested it for astrophotography so can’t guarantee results for that.

I am selling this with the Feather Touch 3035 R&P focuser, a GSO Quartz dielectric diagonal, 50mm focuser and aluminium carry case. Will also throw in a Kendrick*full aperture white light solar filter.

The Mount

The mount is a Celestron CG5-Computerised Mount (sometimes also called the Celestron*CG5-GT*or the Celestron CG5-Advanced).

Mount is in good condition, it can carry a good payload and features 2” tripods legs, several bearings in the mount head and the Celestron software (which admittedly has not been updated in years).

Includes all standard components (i.e.):

- Mount
- Tripod
- Hand controller and its holder
- Counter weight
- Manual
- Autoguide port for long exposure photography.

I will also throw in a 12V 18 Ah battery.

The Price

Willing to let it all go for $2000.

Pickup in Sydney (northwest).

Pm me for more info.

Cheers!
