Mak Celestron Nexstar 4SE full goto - Perth $375

Very clean and in great working condition.

Corrector lens & all mirrors are clean & clear. Rear flip (actually it slides) mirror mechanism works fine. Upgraded larger eyepiece thumbscrew bolts, nice and easy for eyepiece swap-out. All dust caps included.

Collimation is spot on. This telescope happily split a dozen or so double stars recently in Tucana down to mag 10, with separations down to a few arc seconds (using my Baader Zoom IV eyepiece - not included).

Full Nexstar hand control align & goto. A great system on a very sturdy mount. I had this 'scope out in quite windy conditions the other night and the mount held strong. A very nice vixen style non marring clamp, the mount can be used with any other small/medium OTA. The strong integrated metal accessory tray is great for holding eyepieces. The chrome on the tripod legs is clean, and has no rusty bolts.

Sale includes a nice Celestron 25mm Plossl eyepiece and 240 volt power adapter.

Pickup only in Como.
Inspection welcome!

Regards, Dean
